Being a parent can make you a horrible person at times, because you're pushed to the limit constantly.

If I just do everything the opposite of what my dad did, I think that will make things pretty easy. I can joke about it now because I'm past that stage where it used to hurt. By having a kid, it's gone. I could take all that negative energy that I had and put it in a positive way.

Being a parent is about your survival. Surviving the terrible two's is the most important thing.

I'm working on my relationship with my mother and father, but my upbringing has been very destructive.

Parenting now is a two-way relationship where you learn from each other.

I was an unhappy child, and that puts me off having a child of my own.

I had a very diametrically opposite set of parents.

As a child I had dealt with a lot of loss and grief. I was constantly losing my parents, losing my home, constantly moving around, living with this stranger, that stepfather, or whatever.
