My parents got divorced when I was about 11 or 12 and after they got divorced my mom had to get a little bit more hard as a single parent of five. It started to feel a little bit less safe for me so I think a lot that's when a lot of that more started to develop of me trying to like figure out why people were doing what they were doing.
