“There was no God in our house and all five of us are law abiding non-violent normal citizens.”
I’d be interested in knowing what reason your parents gave/used to “keep you in line.” Ultimately, your own self- interest? Or?
Nobody paid attention, no one tried to keep anyone in line. They were too focused on their own sh*t.
I guess am naturally modest, fearful of drugs and dangerous stuff, didn't do the dating and sex thing. I saw what it did to others and wanted no part of it.
Whatever kept me from the bad stuff was inherently inside me.
