When I was 8 my mother brought me and my siblings to her boyfriend's on Christmas Eve and they went out for drinks and left us with a 13 year old baby sitter. They dropped us in the driveway without bothering to let us in and his house was locked. It was snowing and we were scared. They didn't come back until after midnight. She was drunk and blamed him and piled us into the car and took off and crashed into a snowbank. I had to go up to a stranger's house early on Christmas morning and wake them up for help, which is probably why I am so awkward in social situations now.

Wow, you're bringing back very specific memories from my childhood. I hope you've managed to heal somewhat and found things that make you happy.
