So much this. Between Asperger's, constant moving(parents didn't know the fuck they were doing) and my parents constant arguing and dad's abuse during middle school(again parents didn't know shit) I don;t have alot of the  glowy hallmarks of childhood and adolescence. Will I be like my beer gut dad and pull the whole lack of a father figure excuse? Hell no, I'll work my ass off to give my kid(s) everything I didn't have and then some.
