Quite possibly, but not too different, as you're still have the same basic personailty, your cerebral-palsy, look the same, etc. You'd just live in a different town (& maybe even country), have different schooling, different friends, maybe different hobbies (but interests might be almost the same), maybe better self-belief (if good foster parents), have different siblings, have different experiences growing up, & if yer lucky have less "hang-ups" about the past, people & what-not. The "nature" would be the same, but the "nurture" would or could be quite different i would say.
(i don't mean ta "burst yer bubble" mate!)
The formative years (up to about 4-5) are incredibly important. Its then that you learn patterns of emotional functioning which you are basically stuck with for life.
Naw, ah know that. Ah didnae mean drastically different, ah jist meant better frae a nurture standpoint. Because growin' up, ma mum wus quite domineerin', y'know? The fact ah cun still recall bein' yelled at tae
"walk properly" when she'd walk me tae primary school, give ye an idea uh whit ah hud tae endure from an early age.
That's true. My old folks never have wanted or willing to change, perhaps work on some of their personality flaws. Whenever i have ever broached such topics, they tend to get very aggro, enraged in fact, in a passive-aggressive kind of way, spewing out disgusting counter-attack comments, which end up angering or enraging me ... so i have learnt to avoid all that drama.
That description sounds exactly like my mum whenever ah'd try an' talk to her about relationships. It's fair to say on that topic I got a lotta mixed messages which didnae help me any. And an insight intae how mentally unstable some women are.
Also, growin' up in a household where loud arguments were frequent, you learn quite quickly how to avoid any drama. Keep quiet. Find summit tae distracted yersel' with - either a creative outlet or substance abuse.
Though, ah did get blamed for a lotta stuff that wus'nae really ma fault, but, it wus more convenient than ma mum or older sister's takin' responsibility for their words an' actions, y'know?
Yeah, i can see that you certainly have gotten some "complexes" from all that stuff growing up .. but you're alone in that mate i can assure you...
Ah know, ah know... Oh! And there's a word missin' there, by the way.

Rather ironically though I was once described as so-called "The brains of the family" an' "The Sensible Yin". But I'm only smart compared tae those around me, which isnae sayin' much.
