Most of you reading this have, at one time or another, experienced the unconditional love that a parents give a child.....and the others like me, well, have lived pretty messeds up lives....I have been trying to heal my unloved heart my whole life. Although raised by two parents from a seemingly "good" family till i was 14, not once did I feel loved. Part of the problems is that I have Asperger syndrome and as a result I had behaviors that made me a hard to deal with child, and in the 60's the word ~autistic~ wasn't spoken...I was called everything from BAD SEED to slut and whore...and that was from the mouthes of my parental units. As you would imagine, i grew up having little to no self esteem.......But all i ever wanted was my parents love. To this day my core personality remains forever damaged. So, all you mama's and papa's out there....please remember how very important your love is to your child....and remarksw made in anger will forever scar their psyche
