Who raised you? Like as in who were you with during the day time when people work?

I was with my mom til i was 7 and then i was with my dad til 14-15 and then i was with no one. Just my lonesome. My dad worked for a drug company while my mom watched me until we moved to PA then my dad wrot for the paper while my mom worked away. After my dad was in the hospital, i was alone.

My dad (at the time) was a heroin addict, womaniser, and small time pot farmer. So until I was about 7, my moms mostly raised me. She left him after a domestic violence incident in which I was struck by my dad while trying to protect my mom. So from 7 to about 8 it was just us (I had 2 sis and a bro (who was in foster care - different story). I later went back to live with my father alone. Somewhere in there my pop got re-custody of my lil bro back (he was 3 now). But he couldn't hack raising to lil boys and do his thing at the same time. He turned us over to my mom.

By this time my mom had met Terrel who later she would marry. Terry was cool. He made many sacrafices from jump and ALWAYS treated us well. They had a baby soon and now there were 3 boys and 2 girls.

For years Terry kinda played the backburner on dicipline and it was mostly my mom still, who raised us. However, that changed over time.

So basically, my parental involvement started shaky but, ended solid as a rock.

My grandparent's always took care of me while my parents were at work....but after my parent's got divorced i lived with my mom until she hooked up with this loser, she got pregnant by him and when she went to the hospital to have the baby i stayed with my dad and i've been living with him ever since. But whenever my mom and her baby's dad fight she comes to live with us.

My parents are still together so both, kind of. But since we were financially struggling I hardly ever saw my dad. He worked two jobs and went to school P/T (he was trying to learn english and get HS diploma). When we got on our own, my mom had to work too. So from age 8 to 19 (when I moved out) I was alone. I think they still feel guilty for making me fend for myself. I'm actually glad it turned out that way, it made me independent. They where and are good parents.

Parents divorced at 9...me and my bro were with mom for a month before she gave us to dad...after dad started dating again, my brother was in and out of relatives houses, juvi and 1/2 way homes...

Was with my dad up until Desert Storm(12-13), lived with mom while dad was stationed in Saudi Arabia...

Went back with dad until I was 14...couldn't stand step-mom and wicked step-brothers and sisters...and brother was living with my mom, so I went to her house for a weekend, then told dad, I wasn't going back...a week into my stay with my mom...my brother went back to juvi...

Was with mom until 17 when I graduated highschool...

More or less...I was raised by my dad,even though I kinda spent 4 years with both, Dad formed my personality in childhood...and he did a damn good job, playing both mother and father...

my mom was kind of a poor excuse of a parent...we're still not close to this day...another story...mom took me when I was already who I was...

my pops worked like 3 jobs until i was 13....my moms worked part time like 4 days a week so i would be with aunts during the day or whatnot and then my mom had wednesdays off and would be home with us. i used to hate my pops because he was always gone, but once i realized he was out workin his ass off to give us a better shot at succeeding, i let go of the anger....my mom raised us, pops made the money....

My mom was always hanging around my alcoholic father till 2:00am.She means the world to me,and I understood at a young age that she was scared of losing my dad to alcohol,or death.I had two older brothers who looked after me (aka,beat my ass).Other than that,I was playing sports,and catching rides with teamates parents,or my mom would swoop.I could come and go,wherever,whenever by my lonesome.Sometimes I'd be scared as hell,when everyone was gone at night,and people would creep by my house lookin in the windows,even though it was probably my brothers friends.Everything was gravy,except from ages 8 to 14,poor as hell,foodbank typa shit.I hate even thinkin about that era,it makes me sick.

My mom has raised me, my father passed away when I was around 4 or 5


My mom tells me though that when they worked my fathers parents watched me and when we moved back to Washington my moms parents watched me along with some cousins who are just like another set of parents
