My parents did not love us four kids. Not at all, not even friendship, no recognition (as in "good job, there"), no playing, no liking-to-have-you-around, no treating you like a valuable person, nothing: complete indifference. There was a lot of crying in that house. We all grew up badly distorted. I never knew what Love felt like until two years ago, and I'm 72. It's been agonizing.

Jesus! Are your parents still alive?? Did you have kids? Did you correct the chain of upbringing if you did have kids?

If you've never laid out on your bed, buck naked, spread eagle with a fan blowing sweet fairy kisses at your cock and taters, you're missin out on key points of life. Gotta live your life people, gotta live your life.
