I was not a happy child, and I almost cried everyday when I was an elementary school student. I have 4 reasons why I was an unhappy child. First of all, my parents did not get along well with each other at all, so they fought so often. I wanted to stop their fighting, but there was nothing to do for them. I was scared of them every time they were fighting. Because I wanted to escape from the real life, I concentrated on playing the electric piano and reading many books. Next, my mother had jealous and felt irritated about me because my father always took me to somewhere he wanted to go such as the horse race place and Haneda airport, in Japan; when he wanted to think of something deeply, he took me to the airport to watch many airplanes. I did not know why, but my mother and my 7 years younger sister almost always had to stay home. My mother’s stress came to me, so she sometimes yelled and hit me hardly. A few years later, my mother was so strict on me, so we argued frequently when I was a teenager. When I came home late, she sometimes locked the door, so I had to stay out side the house over night miserably. My mother and I did not try to approach or understand each other by our hearts. I could not find my way out. Finally, my parents did not care about kids’ presents, so I did not have any memories about having X’mas present or birthday’s present. I had no idea what Santa was, so I was ashamed when my classmates talked about Santa or their X’mas presents. However, that was not my parents’ fault because they had not gotten their presents from their parents- my grandparents when they were children. All in all, I was a cry baby and miserable. Moreover, my family bond was unstable.

Your appeareance makes me feel like you are a calm person. I can’t realize that you have a special family. Maybe because of your family, you have a deeper thinking and you are an understanding mother, a caring grandmother. Hope that in our incoming topics, I can know more about your happy life after marriage.

I agreed with Susana, the past is just the past.
I remember I have read a status long time ago, it said: leaving the past like your experience, enjoying the present like your adventure, and discovering the future like your mystery.
I think it is about the positive view and the way makes you can enjoy your life. 🙂

Hi Akikio- I’m so sorry that your childhood was not a happy one. It is wonderful to see the support from your classmates- and I’m sure that your unhappy experiences have made you a much better parent than your parents were to you. My mother was also someone that acted like maybe she wished that she never had children. It always made me feel like she never wanted me, but in my future, it made me a great mom because I never wanted to treat my children like my mother had treated me.

Thank you so much Ms. Kym. I know what you mean because I have learned a lot from my mother. Fortunately, I have two daughters, and we talk a lot. We are like friends. Life is wonderful!
