From a young age I can remember screaming/shouting/occasional violence and trying to hide from it all. Mum tried to pretend nothing was wrong but it clearly was. She was definitely depressed and withdrawn especially after a fight as I got older she started to shout and scream at me even if I hadn't done anything really wrong, like not tidying my room would be a MASSIVE issue!! I can't remember ever playing games with either of them and quality time was non existent. Needless to say as a parent now I spend loads of time with my two lovely daughters but still resent that missed childhood that all my friends in school seemed to have.
Was it me or them?
