Childhood abuse will eff you up for sure. I often wonder if some of the NAMI mommies who screech about "parent blaming" each time this possibility is mentioned and insist it's medical and totally medical only... they mighta have some (a lot?) blame too (especially since lot of them vehemently pushes for forced treatment).

I didn't had abusive childhood (if you don't count my neglective grandmother, father's mother and her whole effed up family), but had some traumatic **** happen. Losing a parent at ten being the main thing I still haven't managed to process correctly (aka "just fine").
