tales from my misspent youth

Hmmm....there is so much...

Born with asthma and allergies, I was VERY allergic to most foods, and especially chocolate, dairy, grains and pollens/grasses/weed/danders. I would get up at midnight and gorge myself on chocolates then wheeze all night. There was one point where I was taking 15 different medications throughout the day and the school called the cops on my parents, who had to show all my prescriptions.

Parents Divorced at (my) age 9. Went into therapy because I was "suicidal". I don't understand how they figured that out, I certainly don't recall ever thinking about death at the time.

Moved in with my mom at first, then my Dad, who remarried to a woman with 4 Boys. 3 of them lived with her, so it was Marilyn, Dad, Erick & Randy(13) (twins), David (11), My sister (18) and me (10). Then my sister moved out, and Randy and David proceeded to pick on me. Erick would occasionally step in for me. Throughout the time I was with them, I got hogtied with duct-tape, put in the tub and had the hot water (only) turned on... David became a wrestler in high school and practised on me, would get me down on my back, sit on my chest and poke his finger (hard) into my chest until I had a bruise the size of a saucer... Marilyn tried to have me committed when I was 14 because I was taking up too much of my father's time...

My dad eventually left her and We moved (we moved alot) and it was me and him for a long time. He met and married another Marilyn, and we moved again, twice, and then the whole high-school portion of the Steven Thing(tm) started up. Most of the highlights after that are in the Philosophy forum (under "Seriousness that Changed You" thread).

I'm not sure if that's what you were looking for, Jimbo....
