7. Well 4 out of 5 isn't bad.

I would have liked to stay close. But, at some point it became clear to me that my siblings love our parents and I am not the kind that can keep quiet. So, I kind of stay out of the family drama. I don't want to remind them of the truth about our parents and I think I actually know a lot about them that they don't since I am the oldest. Both are dead so it's even more difficult as I would be speaking ill of the dead. So, no I won't damage their "good" memories even if they are false.

I also realize a lot of kids came from even worse abuse. So, when I hear a kid is in foster care I assume things are very extreme. And that the child faced life and death situations and has actual physical scars from it.
