Wow and I thought I had it bad with 2 alcoholic parents who were divorced when I was in 3rd grade! My childhood wasn't bad all thanks to my grandparents who took me in, I never knew until much later how much of a financial strain that put on them. They gave me the world and treated me like a daughter, so considering everything mine was actually pretty good.
ANd I got a lot of Handmedowns too, but ours came from a rich cousin so they were awesome designer things!! Wish she still sent stuff!
