	No traumatic stories for me to tell. My mother was pretty distant and not around that much, but that's about the extent of it. She was never a serious problem until I was about 16. And my dad was always great. Still is. They also didn't divorce until I was 16. Correlation? Probably. My point is that my childhood was actually pretty dandy. Nice house, good neighborhood, good education, an ordinary best friend, and an amazing father. The worst I can say, was the school bullying. But I put a stop to that in high school. And I'm dealing with it. I don't really think my childhood caused my narcissism or anything. I suppose it could have developed as a defense mechanism against the verbal abuse from my peers and later my mom, but there are a million other explanations, that are just as plausible.

	I am sorry that some of you have some traumatic experiences in your life, especially at a young age and with a member of the family whom you have loved. I have similar experiences too, just like you. However, I overcame those traumatic experiences by telling myself the following :- Since when I was in my teens, I used to tell my parents that "I am old enough to decide for myself. I am my own MAN !" Now that I am a man, I am responsible to myself to make a life for myself in the way that I want. I should not let others affect what I am today. Besides, those traumatic experience in the past were a small portion of the good experience that I had, in particular with that person who traumatised me. Forgive him/her... unconditionally. Get on with you life, Michael !
