[QUOTE="nerfherder, post: 579066, member: 15907"] Hey. Far as the easy child goes, speaking as someone with a peculiar childhood history, I want to extend to him advice and a warning - what you don't talk about today, and shove down inside, turns into a landmine in your brain. Someday when you don't expect it, you're going to step on it, and it will in some way explode on you. Learn the tools for coping with it now, even if you want to hide those tools in your toolbox and shove the toolbox in the attic - at least they'll be there for you when you need them. It might be in your 30's, or your 50's, but you need to be prepared to manage what happens when the landmine explodes. [/QUOTE]
