Fellow children raised under N-Parents who fought a lot, do you have memory issues?

Yep and all of the memories I do have are now very tainted and speak to the abuse and neglect I had to endure as a kid. Even the good ones...

Sometimes she laughs when she tells these stories. And yes, the one I'm about to tell you is pretty frickin hilarious, but I would never do these things to a kid. One time my mom spun me so fast on the merry-go-round that I slipped out and was dangling parrallel to the ground from the outside bars screaming my head off. I would have been yeeted across that playground if I had let go lol I was five.

Another instance would be the time my whole family giggled at my misery as they forced me to be dragged on this intertube behind the boat (I had seen what they'd done to the other kids and didn't want no part of that, Dewey lol) My uncle kept trying to flip us off of the tubes by making sharp turns that would shoot us over waves. They were making bets on how short I would last but I ended up lasting the longest over all of the kids. Then he flipped the tube and thought I fell off, then hit another bump and ta-da! My tiny ass was still attached to that stupid tube lol could not pull myself up into the boat afterwards because I had jello for arms but I was my cousin's hero for the rest of the camping trip for defeating my sadistic uncle. I was an adult by this point and pulling away from the family... It was like a big ol triumph temporary drowning lol
