[QUOTE="Steely, post: 463061, member: 3301"] OMG I was totally the certified difficult child of the family....pretty much a label that was affixed to my forehead from the time of birth....yet any parent here would have been glad to have had me compared to a real difficult child if you know what I mean......UNTIL I hit 16 and then the poop hit the fan. I pretty much became the typical rebellious teenager, i.e. bad boyfriend, lying about where I was, doing drugs, sex etc. Add into the mix some major depression, and my parents threw me in a mental hospital where I stayed 6 months. My actual final destination according to these hospital crack pots was 2 years of hospitalization because I was schizophrenic. Really, don't even get me started - the things I saw in that place and the things they did to patients - One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest comes to mind. I am in NO way schizophrenic, as I have seen multiple shrinks to get closure on this diagnosis - but I do have severe depression. The only reason they would tell a parent this is to get $....when they found out that my parent's insurance had run out I was "let out" on the condition I was "good". Grrr. I got out and was a saint - graduated from HS - and abruptly, on the day I graduated - moved out. I got a job, paid rent, but did drugs and partied my behind off for 2 more years....and then. I was done. I don't know, just done. It was weird. I was simply, one day, just "grown up" and ready to move on in my life. Unfortunately I was still in *love* with Matt's bio Dad whom I married in the attempt to save - uh huh - that worked. Not. At age 46 he is still the same drug addict he was when we met when I was 16.
