[quote:Urtard_Dume:MV8xODk4NzIxXzMxNzM1NzMwXzg3M0I4NTlD] As stated earlier, we all have trauma. Mine does not hinder me. At least I tell myself that. I was raised by an abusive monster of a step mom and an alcoholic father so I won't bore you with those stories. This one is rather mild, but was a shaping moment in my life. I was about 11 years old. Myself, some friends, and my brothers, were swimming in the river. You know, normal summer vacation stuff. Well I got it in my head that I could swim across the "drop off". (Yes 11 years old and I did not know how to swim.) Needless to say I made it about half way across and ran out of steam. Tried to put my feet down, and nothing. I started drowning. I mean really drowning. Thrashing and going under. I was beyond terrified. I could hear my friends laughing and making fun. I was sure I was going to die. After what seemed like an eternity, a friend jumps in and pushes me just enough to get some purchase. I dragged my water-logged ass out of the river on the other side and refused to go back in. My dad just so happened to be fishing about 50 yards away. And all he could do was scream at me for "scaring the fish". I managed to walk home, the long way, because no fucking way I'm getting back in the water. Several hours pass and dad finally comes home. He knew that I almost drowned and all he could say to me was "I can't believe I'm talking to you". The quintessential WTF moment of my life. [/quote]
Original Message
Well? The topic is pretty self-explanatory. Is there anything from the past that is keeping you from moving forward? Anything that you care to acknowledge?
