I've no complaints about my family so much, I had the wonderful siblings, I couldn't have asked for better same with my parents they were very loving towards me as well, though the life itself did take a turn for the worst for a variety of reasons, I won't go into. Many, hardships came our way. Mostly, it is that I kept wanting to hold on to the belief that somewhere out there, outside of my living nightmares, many, more of the people were like the John boys and Little House On The Prairie kids and Aunt Bees and such, this where my mind was faulted. I don't think my thinking changed much even while all I went through, I still had faith in the goodness of people no matter how horrific things around me seemed at times and, of course, there were good people who crossed my path. I am forever grateful for those people who were indeed kind. I think it's hard to give up wanting to believe most people are going to be like that that, but, life has a way of bringing you back down to reality about the truth of self and all humanity and that there is no perfection as one might define it, just people mostly living what they know how to live good or bad changing to do better when and if they are aware there needs to be improvement and some too sick to care of the harm they do.
Being honest here, I don't really remember how the Walton family dynamics were all that much, I just remember thinking I want to marry someone like Johnboy, same, with all those types, Richie in Happy Days, Raj from What's Happening, those were my ideal kind of guys back in the day. Yep, the more nerdy ones with the good hearts.
...oooh to have lived in such harmony, and with parents who were genuinely interested and encouraging ..that was always my dream.
