My parents were definitely abusive. My father stayed to himself and smoked weed and drank and my mother was an emotional wreck who verbally and physically abused us (me and my five brothers). They also abused each other. I believe many of my issues in adulthood and in relationships (not just boyfriend/girlfriend relationships) have stemmed from my parent's behavior.
