What is your relationship with your parents like and how was it growing up? I've heard negative stories so far..

Mother a drug user, father ? he never knew even his name,
siblings each had thier own fathers.

Everything that meant anything to him was stolen and hawked for money for more drugs.

By the fine young age of 14 years old he was on his own (in self defense).

Today he has no love in his heart towards this woman at all. She chose drugs over her children plain and simple.

He was denied many of life necessities growing up. He was forced as an adult to learn missed lessons of childhood. (anger management, coping with stress, loving another unconditionally, etc.)

*It is important to note that he has both a Pisces Moon and Sun however.

Do you have a moon here as well?

Maybe this thread is too inquisitive. It's cool if no one replies.

:edit: I just saw your edit.. sorry.. I missed it before.

I have a Capricorn moon but I've known three guys with a Pisces moon. One of them is a Pisces as well - and yes that's the worst story. I also know a girl with a Pisces moon who isn't speaking to her mum anymore.

It sounds similar to what you described.. There was drug abuse there. Another thing is - the parents are usually very religious and involved in the community.. but it seems to be a cover up because they're quite abusive behind the scenes.

Am I an exception?? I had pretty much an idyllic childhood..... Mom was a stay-at-home hands-on parent, and tho she had a negative effect on my self-esteem, I have no horror stories. She wasn't malicious -- just a Cap with Virgo rising, and nothing I did was ever really good enough. As a child I learned 2 things from that:
Positive -- to try my very best at whatever I did (so I could get praised) -- which resonates pretty well with my Mars in Virgo in the 1st anyway, and
Negative: I will never be "good enough" no matter what (the secret fear of many Leo risings).

Still can't stand my dad, but my mom and I are closer than we ever were before.

I am a Pisces sun.

We have been through much together and I have given up most of my life for her and her sis.

My life was not that easy. I was the oldest out of 6 children and had to grow up fast. When I was wee little, i remember having a good relationship with my dad. I couldn't wait until he would come home from work. But behind closed doors I remember the fighting between my parents. It progressed from verbal to physical and I remember seeing the physical fights and running in between them to try to stop them. So many times I ended up hurt from being smacked or knocked down. I tried to tell them they were being "bad" but they never listened to me. It just got worse.

I lost track of so many opportunities that were taken away from me. I was considered a prodigy in the arts at 5 years old and the teachers tried to get my parents to do more with me but we didn't have the money and they had 5 more kids that were born right after me. My brother and I were only 11 months a part! They didn't have time to invest in me since there were so many mouths to feed. I remember feeling stressed alot and had to start babysitting my siblings alone by the age of 7. As well as cooking,laundry etc...

The description of your daughter really reminds me of myself when I was that age. Sooo tenderhearted! Everything can seem so magnified. I remember wanting to cry so many times but held back because I felt like I didn't know where to go and I became like a little tomboy as I got older. That is so wonderful that you are there for your daughter and can nurture her the way she needs to be nurtured.

i think the worst memories of my childhood was my parents fighting. my low self esteem was more due to my extremely talented cousins rather than my parents. in fact my parents were quite encouraging. i think my confidence and self esteem has grown only in the past couple of years. before that i always felt others were better at everything.
my dad has had an alchohol problem for years now. we've got him to cut down only recently with great difficulty.
there have been times when i've been really angry with my parents. my mom can be extremely stubborn(typical capricorn!!!) and refuses to do anything she does not want to even when it is in her interest. same with my dad.
but i guess i cant live without them either.
..and i think that that comes from the fact that i know at the bottom of it all they really love me

"the parents are usually very religious and involved in the community."

that's the case with my parents too....with my dad its more like a routine which is two hours long!!....we often tease him saying he should beme a 'pandit'

"I think people with this placement are real special, though they need a lot of love and stability in their younger years more so then others."
