I didn't click through on the link, because I knew it would ruin my day. Nobody's fault but mine. I should know better by now.

Unwanted, unloved, and punished if anyone showed any positive attention to me. My mother only had two children she loved, the rest of us might as well not have been born.

Now I'm bummed. Need to do something fun to take my mind off things.
