When she was little, she took care of herself. There was adult guidance, but to what extent, she cannot remember much. Except barbies. She remembers those. And time spent with the neighbor children. They were as much her teachers as any adult ever could be. And Nickelodeon. Yes, Nickelodeon.

Amazing that she grew up into a decent person. The adult examples weren’t the best, and the adult men were way worse than any other functional human could be. There were drugs, people on drugs, violence, fornication, violent fornication, and several men. Some of which were one and the same, others were not.
