My six-word contribution is above. I had a playful, endearing, active, and fun childhood until my parents’ divorce when I was twelve years old, and then . . . all hell broke loose. I became a parent to my much younger siblings- mothering them before I was done being mothered. It’s a heavy thing to take on a role you never asked for, however, you had to step up and perform. “Childhood” is a great theme, and I am happy I could participate. Maybe you want to as well!
Also, 18 years have passed by so quickly. I swear I blinked and here we are . . .

I am sorry that you had to grow up very fast and step in to take up responsibilities at such a young age. I am glad that you came through for your siblings! Proud of you, Tre ❤️️

I often say I was an adult child. I began taking care of my siblings when I was six, so I completely understand where you are coming from. Thanks for sharing, trE.💕

Like most families; emotional, strict, tumultuous.
(But loving and fun sometimes too)
I’m sorry you had to grow up too fast. 😔
