I do the mixed cursive and print thing, add in some capitals and yep, it's all messed up! I sometimes have trouble reading my own writing also. 🤪

I'm all good about the beatings. Wasn't the first or last and I figure life just had to move on and so I moved it on. I'm better for it I guess, the experience has been a teacher, unpleasant though it was. I've been through more unpleasant and difficult things in my life so that helps to put it into perspective. I turned out just as crazy as every other human being so...yep, I'm nothing and no one special.

Thanks for commenting, and yes I didn't write this post for pity or to make people sad. It was just something to say I guess. Maybe to demonstrate that good can come from bad.
