It hurt like hell way into my adult life. When you grow up without emotions or compassion shown to you as a child, it's hard to develope them later as an adult. I'm just thankful that I have and I am surrounded by many people that can show their emotions and feelings without reservations. I'm not overly mushy, but I'm not afraid to show my kind and caring side anymore. I don't need this tough shield and I don't ever want it again. Don't get me wrong, I definately defend myself when needed, but no longer feel like I have to be so darn strong. I can cry and I can love.
