Move a lot as a kid?

[Randy]

As a child, did your family mainly stay in one place or did you move around a lot?

Either way, how did that affect you?

we only moved twice

when I was born, we lived in a house with no carpet, not much furniture, and it being very cold

and then we moved to the childhood home, which was permanent- at least it was until I had to leave because of a court order brought on by my mother's constant abuse.

I've never had a star home. Never been in one place for more than 5 years, so I'm just used to it all.

As a kid I moved around a lot. My mom and dad were in a constant state of breaking up and getting back together. When they'd break up we'd move 100 miles away to my grandparents house. When they'd get back together we'd come back. I was always telling my classmates and friends in both cities that I was moving for good this time, but then I'd be back a month later. They stopped believing me after a while, then one day I was gone for good (from the one city) and here to stay (in the other city).

Parental battles are so much fun, aren't they? Mine should never have gotten back together...

I moved a lot. The instability probably arrested my development (); but in the long run maybe gave me more 'flex' and adaptability.

My family only moved 2 times. Been here since I was 6.

Mine never did get back together. It was horrible when they were together.

Builds character!

I envy that, I wish mine never had gotten together. I love my mother, but she was the world's biggest victim when they were fighting, and my dad was just a total asshole. I stayed in my room for hours waiting for it to end, hearing every word, every slammed door, every punched wall, every threat...and then they went to bed only to wake up and do it all over again.

Can relate to that! Most of the time I'd just leave the house or put on headphones and blast music.

Yep, that's what got me into metal at first. It was loud and covered up the screams.

Put on angry music to cover up the angry parents?
