They moved from small farm to farm yearly so he was never able to make friends moving and living so far out.

I had a crappy start to with abuse and parents who did nothing about it.
The difference between me and my husband is I have spent the last 15 years working on mindfulness and staying in the present. I find that is the best tool to let the past go is to stay in the now. We can't change what happened to us but we can affect how we think about it now.
