Okay, is it just me, or does trying to explain your childhood to a therapist make it sound really really messed up?

I mean, sure, there were some rough bits, but I never thought of it as being a bad childhood*–I turned out fine, so how bad could it be?–but man, you try to explain that to someone who’s taking notes on your mental health…

Eh, well, I’m sure they’ve heard worse.

*No, Mom, really, it’s fine.
