From the outside, I had a great “All American”upbringing. No one knew, as I sat at my 3rd grade desk, that I was stressing not over fractions, but wondering if it was the day I’d go home to find my dad had moved out and my mom sitting in the dark unable to cope. Again. And yet, I have a good life.

People who had my (and his) advantages also had tremendous obstacles and stresses, like yours. I know people like that, I grew up with them. So I would never say that all of us grew up without any problems. But I also wouldn’t brag that it was my genes n’ values that made me a success.
