It's quite the sordid tale, many laws and bones were broken that evening. I found out it was possible to haggle with a whore, even when rocking a open head wound.

If someone didn't come along and skull fuck you in that head wound, it wasn't sordid enough.

Well then, it wasn't sordid enough. Pervert.

Sorry, I had to. How often do you get to use the words skull fuck in a sentence?

'Guess it depends on how many have a sordid gaping head wound?'.

I have a hard time remembering any happy childhood memories. Being at home was worse than the bullies at school. It seems every holiday and birthday someone had to run their mouth and ruin it. My parents argued about something every single Christmas to the point I hated it for years until I started my own family.

[ - ] PeckerwoodPerry [op] 5 points 1 weekDec 2, 2025 16:17:25 ago (+5/-0)

My parents never argued in front of us. I don't remember a single time either of them raised their voice in anger towards the other. I did have a big, fucked up family, though, and we very rarely all got along. We're all adopted, all fucking ten of us. My parents took on too much responsibility, and they definitely made some mistakes. Two of my sisters are disabled from birth, and that's a dynamic that often upset the balance. Kids need attention, disabled kids need a lot of attention. It's only natural that the non disabled kids are gonna feel cheated.

Christmas to the point I hated it for years

You didn't go for walks on christmas, longingly looking into people's houses as they celebrated with their functional families and pretended you were one of them?

Neither did I.

I didn't see what normal looked like until well into my 20s.

Robert, sounds like my family. It was brutal. I hate Xmas to this day. No lights, no tree, no bullshit gifts. I do try to celebrate the original idea of the whole thing. I have to literally meditate to keep my mind from going to the awful memories.

[ - ] RobertJHarsh 0 points 1 weekDec 2, 2025 21:52:59 ago (+0/-0)

It took me a long time to stop hating Xmas but I still do not like it. I tolerate it for the kids and my wife and I have talked at length about it and she understands what I went through. What scares me is when a suppressed memory comes back hard out of nowhere. I do meditate myself to suppress them.

Similar to mine as far as constant arguments and every special day ruined because of parents fighting. But actually it was always my mother at fault. She'd start the arguments and ruin everyone's fun. She argued with everyone all the time. She argued with the wall when alone.

Anyway, despite all that I still have a few good childhood memories

[ - ] RobertJHarsh 0 points 1 weekDec 2, 2025 23:47:02 ago (+0/-0)

The last time myself and siblings were in the house at the same time my mother told us she regretted her life and wished she had taken the officer offer at West Point. It was Christmas Eve 2003. That is when I knew to put as much distance from me and those fuckers. The year prior I decided to go all out on Christmas for my siblings and parents. I spent probably $1000 on gifts. I had finally got a good job paying over six figured. I went to three Christmas' and got nothing in return.

I wish I could remember at least one good childhood memory.

Women are horrible. My mother recently said she didn't even want kids.

Wow very similar experience here. As soon as I started working I got that creature expensive presents and even paid for my parents to go on vacation. I even bought her mother some jewellery. I also got my siblings shit their whole life. And all I got in return was no thanks whatsoever. I don't even talk to my brother now because he's a libshit retard now. I have been trying to distance myself from my mother for years but she keeps calling to complain more

I cut them off and HARD. Do the same, you'll feel better. You don't need to "honor thy mother and father" if they are pieces of shit.

Music is always good for the soul. Leaning into that is almost never a bad idea.

I don't really celebrate Christmas anymore. I've had so many terrible things happen this time of year that it always feels like I'm holding my breath until mid January. I won't get into it for the sake of brevity, but I also have a birthday coming up soon which I also refuse to celebrate anymore. I feel like I'm adding years every time I look in the mirror. I keep my face clean shaven, but for a Burt Reynolds 'stache, because my beard went completely grey in the span of a year.

I'm somewhat susceptible to seasonal depression, so this year I'm staying on guard. Eating well, exercising, going light on the whiskey etc. I just want to be done with this year, though. It's been a long one for how quickly it's past.

Nah, bro. You are also real. Don't short change yourself, or any of the other awesome people here. I only come off as real because the people here make me comfortable enough to do so. There's a lot of good dudes here. That's why we hang out here.

Family friend has his daughter do that to me for pictures and stuff. She was 5"2' and very cute. We dated for a little bit before then but she was into drugs and I moved across the country. I think that was his way of trying to keep his daughter out of trouble.

[ - ] PeckerwoodPerry [op] 3 points 1 weekDec 2, 2025 16:11:52 ago (+3/-0)

That's the thing about trouble, you always find it if you look for it. I've often been guilty of having to learn the hard way, so trouble is something I'm all too familiar with. It does make the good times more meaningful though, so at least there's that.

I struggle this time of year. Growing up my parents didn’t have much money so gifts were few and lame, which isn’t the point but they made it miserable for us kids. They were short tempered, stressed, and just had an overall negative attitude about Christmas. There are plenty of ways to do traditions that cost nothing and that create good memories.

As an adult with my own family, I have to really try hard to not be a Scrooge. My husband helps balance me out because he’s over the top with it all.
