My parents had a difficult divorce.

My parents' divorce made an important change in my life. It affected me.

I lost my parents when I was fairly young.

My parents were dealing with evictions and repossessions and electricity getting shut off, and I just realized that I had to get it together.

I think my parents had a hard time dealing with me.

There was a lot of brokenness in my family. Let's just say that I was raised by my grandparents.

My parents wanted me to solace them for sorrows they denied having had.

My parents separated when I was younger.

I was attacked by a dog when I was a toddler, and my injuries were so bad, I spent quite a bit of my childhood in and out of hospital. Books were absolutely my salvation during those years.

My parents divorced when I was 10, but when my father was there, he was trying to create almost like a little prison for me.
