Thank Leafy. Oh yes seen and not heard..My mom had trouble with affection as well..I guess we are around the same age..How was your dad? My dad was a man who really didn't like kids!!! I was very independent as a child..I think that was another generatonal thing. I walked a mile to school, to my dentist appointments and played outside everyday until dark..No one ever came looking for me..Seems like neglect but maybe I was better off out there..
It was just like I felt very disconnected from my parents, like they just preferred it that way...and it was just the way it was. As you say polar opposite from today..
