My mother was crazy. And unmedicated. So, while I do have some happy memories it was a difficult childhood and it didn't get better until I moved out at 18.
Now me and my sister laugh about all the crazy and mean stuff our mom did to us. At least we can laugh about it now. It wasn't funny at all as a kid.
And I'm pretty sure my mom had some kind of mental disorder that would have responded to medication and counseling. But she never got help. So I feel sorry for her rather than angry.
She died years ago.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
