Wow, great essay. I stumbled upon your stuff, and could not ignore the title. I feel that we have lived parallel lives. I write abut childhood chaos and trauma that create amazing survival skills for childhood, but those same skills usually suck in adulthood. I too moved a lot and went to a new school every year. I felt isolated, abused drugs and booze, worked a million jobs, and went to prison for a DUI.
I appreciate you honesty and vulnerability. I wrote about those things here
