As a child I had many dreams, many interests. I wanted to be a Pharmacist, a micro biologist, a scientist, maybe a marine biologist.
I asked my 'parents' who had never shown any interest in my school work, or much interest in me at all really, if I could go to college/uni.
I was 16 years old and just leaving school, (1960s) I asked my father he said ask your mother. I asked mother, ignoring, malignant narcissistic 'mother' .
She said 'If you think we are keeping you you got another thing coming because we ARE NOT. You will get a job and pay your way.
I had no money, no support, no where else to go, no self esteem, social anxiety and depression.
I left school on a Friday and was forced to start work in a factory on the Monday.
It was f###ing agony SOOO boring and so what I did NOT want to do.
Still, it suited narc parents, mother liked me to be miserable, she never could bear it if I so much as smiled. She got her way as she always did.
I married to escape 'home'.
I now realize my ex husband was NPD. I'd married my mother!! YUK
I didn't know what normal was really, I'd lived a childhood of neglect, mother liked schadenfreude. She hated me. Nice mommie.

I stayed at home to look after my children, who I love dearly.

I had Greatexpectations once, just dreams I've even giving up on those now it ain't gonna happen.

Sorry for the whine.

I enjoy a good wine. No reason to not let it out sometimes. Everyone hurts sometimes, you may recall. Just don't let it ruin your day.

Take an inspirational quote, there all over the internet.

"It's never too late to be what you might have been." George Eliot
Nobody can give you freedom. Nobody can give you equality or justice or anything. If you're a man, you take it. -Malcolm X
I made my bed, I'll lie in it. I made my bed, I'll die in it. -Hole
I’m so tired of pretending my life isn’t perfect and bitchin’. -Charlie Sheen

I have a love of Hindi culture/religion since before I was a teenager, don't know where that comes from but have alway's loved the name SHANTHI, it means 'peace' in hindi,and is said at the end of prayers and chant's,so every time someone says Shanthi they are saying peace, nice eh....

It's kind of odd buuuuut...I actually wanted a different username first. They didn't have it available, so I had to think up something else. When I couldn't I just used Night_Prowler, because I was reading a book on the night stalker. The book said the song was a favorite. ...When it actually accepted it...I was shocked. Soooo....the name was mine! Just another reason to love ACDC 8)

I'm not a major fan of the Goo Goo Dolls (I only like the songs of theirs that got major airplay like "Slide", "Iris", "Sympathy", "Black Balloon", etc.) but my absolute favorite song of theirs is "Name", and it's on their album "A Boy Named Goo", so that's why I decided to take that album as my username. I just changed the gender because I'm female.
