What are you curious about your parents life before you were born?

What they were like as kids

A lot. Like how a boy born a German citizen in Shanghai China ever crossed paths with a girl born in the middle of nowhere in western Saskatchewan, Canada.
Of course, I am the odd one in the family, never lived more than 6 miles from where I am right now, married to a woman who was born in France, and moved more times in one year than I have in 67 years.

How did my parents meet and how on earth did they think they were compatible for marriage, let alone kids.

I swear that my parents didn't grow up until they were in their 40's, which put me and my sisters in our 20"s. I also think sometimes that my mom got married to escape her mother, who by all accounts was a horrible, verbally and physically abusive person.

My dad can't recall much of his past due to a head injury and my mom likes to put a more positive spin on the past.

Don't get me wrong, I love them, but growing up before they got divorced was like Lord of the Flies. I'm pretty sure me and my sisters made it as far as we did because my paternal grandparents lived upstairs and made sure we had everything we needed.
