This is one of those threads I'll visit when I need perspective ;D
Ditto and ditto. And I still love them, and they've definitely come through for me plenty of other times. But sometimes they can be really hurtfull, and that's what I'm trying to learn to understand/ignore. I, too, will keep this thread in mind the next time I need some cheering up (mark it now, the 13th, when I have everyone over for dad's b-day). It's also encouraging to know that despite growing up with the same circumstances, some of you have broken the cycle, and that I'm not necessarily doomed to repeat their mistakes.

And to answer your question, Brandi, I'm 26 and also the shortest in the family
