You say "eager to recreate my childhood" then to go on to say good things about what I would call cultural conservatism. Maybe that is the trigger phrase "recreate my childhood." I was not abused as a child but I do not have any desire to "recreate my childhood." In fact, the thought of it gags me. Maybe that is a better indicator of those who want to have things like they were. I cannot wait to move on.

Paco you sound bitter. I thought I was the one with the unhappy childhood. I was picked on during multiple years. Things are not always easy. But, I do remember fondly going barefoot during the summer.
