[Closed] Childhood is over when....

Unfortunately mine ended, age 9, overnight when my parents divorced.

You get bullied for the first time, and realise that adults would rather you kept quiet than give them problems to deal with,

Not sure if that was aimed at me but it seems likely. I'm not a perfect dad by any means but the shock of hearing a very small person say a word which stw won't let me type is intense.

Believe me, you don't react rationally in the way you might if they threw their carrot sticks at the cat.

My own grandad did the same to me for uttering the sinful word, "damn" but I still loved him once I got over my (small) self.

what? no. I hadn't even read your post. If I was going to comment on it I would have quoted you.

Your mum and dad have died and the all welcoming forever open under any circumstances day or night door to an emergency home is closed forever.

So true Greg, I still find myself thinking before I do something "what's mum going to say about it" & then realise she cant 🙁

When you stop filling your pockets with conkers 🙄

jesus. want to throw myself off a bridge now.

When you enjoy the sponge of your bday cake more than the icing

The day you met Jimmy Saville.

it was the sudden realisation that work doesn't break for 7 weeks in summer (obviously, but I never considered it) and weekends are breathtakingly short.
