Hi mates,
I'm quite a kid yet (23 old), so maybe that's just because i still didn't leave my parents completely behind. Think they left quite a harm to my peace and freedom of being (negligence and huge fights for years at my house). Real neurotics...
I think anxiety arises so much from the stupid way our parents treat us.
I would have kids in 10 years or so, though. Time enough to die first...
