I've got a full tank and some chips

For some reason the first thing I thought of when I woke up today were the three moments of my life that I felt the most ditched (even though I pretty much never think on this subject, they came to me almost immediately):

#3: When I was about 8, I was arguing with my mom about something on the way to her car in a plaza, and she just drove off without me.

#2: In one of the first New Years Eves that I celebrated with the gang, they decided to see a movie, but I don't think I knew which one... I was a bit late and found no one waiting outside the entrance for me, so I just went home. I realize it was my fault for being late, but "the movie was starting" never seemed like a good enough reason for me.

#1: When I was 7 or 8, I found out that my dad was not coming over to Canada to live with us. I just accepted it the way kids do. In typical chinese fashion, my dad cited money reasons... there was more money to be made in Hong Kong, and he could support me better from there. He was wrong. I never really understood it growing up. I didn't blame myself or anything, which seems to be all the rage in movies and tv shows or whatever. I'd probably smack someone who tried to tell me it's not my fault over my parent's divorce and my dad abandoning me in Canada. I think my dad was frightened of leaving his entire life behind, and the only environment he had known... and maybe that's why I'm so amazed when people want to pick up and move to another country. Is fear inherited? I mean, I cite my love for everything here as the reason, but who knows. I'm a complicated man.
