Wow, some people can be quite toxic. This individual couldn't discuss things logically. Told me Android sucks and to grow a pair. He is also trying to sell a seminar to get rich quick on his profile. We all know that money is better spent on Sats. But wow did he ever lower himself in my Dm even more. All I can do is Pray for a individual like this. Must be very troubled and hateful towards life.

When I read yours it gave me the guts to come out and tell mine I only told a one or two small things but for years it was desperate, for days their wouldn't be a slice of bread in the house till mammy got her welfare money which most was spent on drink we always ate we on pay days and the day after come the third day things would revert back to having nothing and waiting for her to get paid again, I had to go to school through all of this I was treated horribly in school I use to lash out break windows things got so so bad mammy would walk to the shops with pee stains in her jeans and all my friends used to laugh and make fun of me I use to wish the ground would open up, but as I said I could never understand why they left me with my mother the social workers I was 13-14 when my two younger brothers were taken maybe I was to old but she began drinking heavier after that my father was nowhere To be seen the only person I had was my grandmother on my father's side who had a heart of gold and would always feed me or wash clothes, just look after me, when I turned 17 she let me move in to her house I was on the sofa I think she knew the conditions at my mother's were unlivable the sofa would be better, that's were my life started to change I had 3 meals a day 8 hours of sleep and clean clothes going to school I actually past my leaving cert it's the end of school tests on every subject but didn't get enough points to get into a good collage only a community college so I took a year out and went working labouring for plasters mixing buckets of skimming all day the money was good and I could of stayed and got a trade but I decided to go back to higher education and I got a degree in mechanical engineering and started out working in big garages around my town I was good with my hands I quickly start flipping money doing a bit of panal beating knocking dints out of wings of cars and I'd respray them I built up a good name and the rest is history. But my grandmother if she didn't take me in god knows we're id be prolly dead from an OD or homeless on the streets of Dublin, my grandma was a very spritual women and never missed morning mass at 8.15 am at the local church she would always say the rosary at 12 and 6pm god love her she passed away 23 Jan 2003 I cried for days It was the first time I lost someone I really loved she basically saved my life took me a long time to except her desth. But my mam cleaned up her act and is 15 years clean and sober she'll be 70 this Sept and my father settled down with another woman it took a long time to forgive him but when I finally understood he wasn't happy he was young he wanted out we became really close and when I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma a few years ago he drove me to every appointment and would wait even when I was getting chemo he'd sit with me he really stepped up as a father... Wow it's great to get things off you're chest, I've done this almost 14 year ago when the girl I was seeing at the time wanted me to go and see a counselor I think I had maybe 10 sessions but it's like a weight been lifted off you're shoulders when you speak about everything I was saying to you and so much more bad stuff I wouldn't mention on here but it was great to get it of my chest with the counselor. Thanks Michelle is great to have someone on here who had a similar upbringing just to speak on it is amazing knowing I'm not the only one and I'm sure there's more on here that may have suffered like we did. We're here for them Jesus is here for them 🙏

Did you spend your childhood in Canada?

Why offering to help with preexisting kids is a red flag? It only tells that the guy has low self esteem, but he doesn't have to be an awful person. And by the way having preexisting kids is even more red flag for a woman on a date, so maybe she thought it is a match of red flags or something 🤔

That's an amazing story Michelle thanks for sharing my upbringing was extremely bad mom an alcoholic my father left when I was 10 our family home went to the dogs when I was 13 I witnessed with my own eyes social workers guards and doctors go into my house and take my two younger brothers who were 2 and 4 I remember my mother was off her face on drink and she lying in the middle of the kitchen crying and ranting and raving like a lunatic but I could never understand why they never took me, hindsight is a great thing thing and with hindsight I wish they did take me because things became impossible we had money I had to listen to my mom's cry over my father every night no food in the fridge or no clean clothes to wear to o school I smelt kids would call me stinky in school it shaped my teenage years were I was extremely shy añ introvert I started hanging around with and older crowd doing drugs and drinking so much more I could mention that are really nightmarish but I've dealt with all that true years of counseling. My mom is better she hasn't had a drink in 15 years my two small brothers are all grown up and have their own life's and well we all have a great relationship with my father and I believe everything worked out for me and my mother and brothers and father that through out everything I never missed mass on Sunday morning I remember having no shoes to wear to mass so I wore a pair of football boots our parish felt sorry for me and would always give me money to get a nice meal on a Sunday but that childhood I had I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Thank you Michelle for sharing it gave me the strength to share, power to Jesus Christ our lord and savior. 🙏

Good parenting starts with the right choice of a partner. Unfortunately your mother did a poor choice and didn't go away from your farther as soon as it was clear.

Attention Parents!

It's YOUR job to teach your kids Morals and Work Ethic. It's YOUR job to raise them. YOU need to have more impact in your kids life. This does not mean handing them an iPad and telling them to shut up. It means spending quality time and teaching them the life lessons they need to learn. This is NOT the school's job, there job is too teach them math, English and science etc. BUT it is also YOUR job to help your kid and make sure your kid gets done there home work. I am asking all parents to Step Up! There is a reason Gen Z is the laziest and most unmotivated generation. That reason is; Poor Parenting.
