The middle child and I was pretty rough. Fights. Lots of falls...off of a train ..(it wasn't moving..my arm hit the metal wheel and broke in two places...lots of cuts and then...TBI. Bad memory I thought it was just me disassociating but it wasn't emotional or mental . it's biological and the TBIs....I can't remember (not funny lol) HOW MANY times I was in a scuffle at school or falling out of a tree or being thrown off a jet ski or go cart. Gosh ..I'm a late bloomer I seem to have gone backwards as well with many things...I forgot to get married!
