Were you given alot of attention or were neglected as child?

I was neglected most of my childhood. My REAL father passed when I was in 9th grade. My mom wasn't close to him, they were almost going to get a divorce shortly before his death anyway so it didn't seem to affect her they were never close. But she did cry at his funeral. But after that she seemed to got over it quickly. She didn't hesitate to jump into a new relationship only literally less than 2 months later. (I believe she has BPD too.) but this new man was nice at first, until he started with slight verbally abusive remarks, small things. Then they got more malicious. Right now he is emotionally manipulating me and making me think that he is the only friend I have and its good I'm aware hes doing it now because I believed him for years, which is why I never had friends. He has been physical, as well.

I'm ranting.

So what was your childhood like? Were you neglected or given alot of attention?

Neglected. Prioritized last. Thrown aside. Forgotten. Left. Abandoned. Made worthless or nobody through action and words, directly and indirectly. I'm not even going to bother with a story; it's long and boring.

I was given a lot of the wrong attention. Smothered, overprotected, but not taught how to deal with basic life happenings. I self taught these things and i think i now have a less skewed view of things than my family, although it happened later than ideal.

No attention whatsoever, unless someone needed to be blamed for something, or my father wanted to rage and yell.

That's okay though. I got plenty of attention from my perverted, child molesting neighbors. They taught me about the power of sex.

Neglected.

My mom divorced my dad when i was young, so i went with my mother. Her drinking was more important than to teaching us any useful life skills other than how to be a functioning alcoholic.

Neglected. Overprotected. Controlled. Fed with bullsh!t and abused.
My parents were too busy with their own issues.

On my 20th birthday. My lovely mother calls - not to say "happy birthday darling!", But to inform about their divorce

Neglected and abused. I was the only boy in the bunch and I was rambunctious at that. Any little thing I did was wrong. Dad liked to teach me a lesson, I was stubborn so I would act out again and again. My mom acted like she didn't have a clue what was going on. I was told just to behave and it wouldnt happen, but it didnt matter what I did. When my parents divorced, my mom married another guy, just like my dad. I was never good enough for either of them. My mother could barely look at me, let alone hug me.

Totally neglected, which i didn't realize until later in my life. My father is a Romanian immigrant,he was tough. I did gymnastics for 7 years because he thought I would become an olympian. He wanted that for me, he needed it. My mother didn't attend one competition. When i quit i was my father's worst enemy. I don't have much in my life, but everything i have is from myself. My mom was disconnected suffering from depression and my dad was very.....very angry. So yes, all of us five children were neglected. Not even getting into the physical and emotional abuse

Neglected for the most part, although the attention I did receive was "tough love," where I was expected to keep a "stiff upper lip," which didn't work for me.

I needed nurturing, and I didn't have a happy childhood. Not to mention my dad was/is an alcoholic and to this day I don't have much of a relationship with him.
