Wow, Albert Ellis was a very strong minded individual. The part I found most interesting was the fact that no matter how much attention his mother or father gave him he continued on loving and caring for his siblings. This article broke my heart and made me sad. I starting thinking about how many people grew up like this. I grew up with both my parent's always working and me having to get my sister's ready for school. We would even have to rush home after school so our grandparent's could drop off my younger siblings. I would have to make them food and get dinner started for our household.
