I enjoyed reading your story very much and although I'm sad to hear that you were bullied and bear some deep scarring as a result, you come across as a strong person and have ultimately overcome your obstacles to have enjoyed many great Amiga times. Long may they continue.

Good story and to answer what my story is.
It's quite simple, I started out in 1985 with the C64 at a friend of my.
That quickly turned into gaming sessions there and later on an Amiga 500.
In 1989 I got my own C64 II and in 1992 my first A500, although second hand from my aunt, I was very happy with it.
In 1996 that all died a bit after the fall of Commodore and the lack of clubdays or them switching to pc's.
I also got my first pc that year, it was an Escom P75.
Upgraded over the years, but never looked at the C64 or Amiga that were stored in the garage.
Until late 2009, then I picked up where I left off.
In 2 years I realised my boyhood dream which was to have every Amiga ever produced.

Those are photos of the previous owner and added with my previous collection, I estimate that I have about 150 original games, most of them boxed.
My favourite Amiga's are these:
