Boomers check in!

8. 1952. We were also to be seen but not heard...

Probably due more to the fact that my father was an alcoholic with anxiety disorder and couldn't tolerate any sort of noise.

Some things about my childhood were great...other things, downright awful and painful.

I had two younger sisters but didn't have to raise them because my mother stayed home, except for one year when she got a part time job working at a local Woolworths store but quit after being bitten by a hamster in the pet department. Yes...Woolworths had those back then.

She didn't get another job until I was about 13, and that's where she met the guy she would cheat on my father with.

If I wrote a book on my life...maybe if we all did...perhaps people would think it's really bad fiction and totally unbelievable.

Such dysfunction!
