No I grew up in a secure good family. I was the youngest of four and my parents stayed together their whole marriage. They’ve been married nearly 53 years now.
The only possible dysfunction was my mom was a bit strict and religious and it affected me negatively. But she was very loving all the same and wanted the best for me. My father and I had an excellent relationship. Still do with both my parents.
I guess I was very lucky. Funny how I still got sza and was the only one in my family with that. My mom grew up on a dysfunctional family. Her father and mother divorced when she was 3 and her father had depression and was an alcoholic. But my mom is a very strong person and did her best with me.
My mom was a single mother of 4, she was undiagnosed mentally ill, mildly, still functioning. She was amazing at keeping food on the table and keeping a stable roof over our heads and that’s about it. No help with school, no emotional support, no love. But she turned out in later life to be an amazing grandparent and that means the world to me. And our relationship was repaired before she died so it turned out well.
