Wow, awesome stories.
I think my upbringing was influential in that it was different to any of my peers. My parents were both from poor backgrounds, that came from reasonable backgrounds that were lost in unfortunate ways I guess. My mum had her own business and my dad, outside of his dead end job, supported.
Kids at school and living nearby were either poor or suburban, and thought of me as different.
My parents we're pretty free with me. My mum made ultimatums, like she hated smoking, animal cruelty, religious types, irresponsible sex. My dad was very laid back. And a torment.
