Childhood stories thread?
I'm curious if any of you had any traumatic moments in your childhood that may explain some issues you have now.
I don't have any but very curious.

My father used to beat me, my sister's, my mother
He hit my hands and feet a ton, choking was pretty frequent
One time after stepping in to help my mother I got hit really fucking hard and me and my mother slept together cuddled on the floor
A day doesn't go by where I don't wish I had never been born
>be me
>seven years old
>take a bath with my baby cousin who is 8 months old
>aunt takes him out of the tub and leaves me alone for a while
>I get out without draining the tub
>go lay down to read a book
>get thirsty
>go back to bathroom with a cup for some water
>baby cousin is floating face down in the tub
>he dies
It's all my fault. I should just kill myself, desu.
I was bit in the eye by a dog when I was 3 or 4. All I remember is the blood. I'm fine with dogs now though.

>7 years old
>it's your fault some 8 month old wasn't supervised well enough by your aunt
what is this logic

I know it doesn't make sense, but as a seven year old I was old enough to know that I should drain the fucking tub. Basically my laziness literally killed a baby.

Yah man I feel for you and am sorry for ur loss but it is unhealthy to blame yourself sounds like your bitch aunt should have watched her kid who isn't even a year old yet
>my dad is sleeping in my bed for some reason
>get in bed and cuddle next to him
I miss him

Dem feels! Are you me? All my mom had to do was pack up and leave...she never did!
>>25808795
But why? How did the fucking baby end up in the tub at all?
>>25808727
Jesus anon! It's not your fault but still, fucking shitty aunt, does she still blame you? How does your family feel about this?

My parents/aunt were in the kitchen making pre-thanksgiving food and I guess the baby was crawling around and he crawled down the hallway and then used the side of the tub to stand up and just... slipped in. I don't know. It was pretty crazy. He was at that age where he could take a couple of steps on his own and was crawling really fast.

I don't know if she blames me. While my mom did CPR I was watching it all happen and crying and my aunt just kept screaming at me. We don't really talk anymore. She's a crackwhore now.
My parents say it's not my fault but I think they're lying, honestly. They always hesitate a little bit when we talk about it and the way they look at me just makes me nauseous.
>13-14 years-old
>grandmother lives in in-law apartment
>I'm home alone, just got home from school
>hear a huge thud
>go over to her apartment
>she fell and was bleeding from the mouth
>next day at the hospital
>she's paralyzed and is only kept alive by life support
>they take her off life support and she passes as it's what she wanted
fast forward nine months...
>telephone ringing wakes me up ~8am on a Sunday
>answer it
>asks to speak with my father
>he fell asleep on the couch
>try to wake him up
>he's not moving and is cold
>he died of a heart attack in his sleep
>I was awake the whole night in my room
>if I had left my room at some point I might have saved him

It's not your fault, anon. Your father passed in his sleep at least. I'm sorry those two events happened so close together though.
>>25809448
wait, so you didn't know the baby had gone in the tub or was even near it? That's just a freak accident
>>25810071
I know. Trust me, I know. But at the time that was the conclusion I came to, and it stuck years later. I distinctively remember looking at the drain of the tub and shrugging and thinking someone else will drain it for me. And then considering I was the one who found him...

That sounds like a rough year, man. I'm so sorry.
