Exactly! I've often talked to my mum about stuff, and I've always said that even knowing what I know now, even seeing what I now see in my father, I wouldn't take back how hard I tried to please and impress him, because all of that work and attempts to gain affection, they changed me. If I hadn't been like that, I never would have fallen in love with scifi and action and TV and "forbidden" classic rock and fixing cars and playing football and watching sports and shopping for tools, a ton of the things that make me who I am.

Yeah! And I think that's just because you become exposed more to society; that's when you start to "lose your innocence" in a way and you start to see the bigger picture.
