Hi,
Interesting issue/
I definitely grew up in a dysfunctional home. My father was alcoholic and my mother mentally ill. They were extremely verbally abusive to each other, and the needs of my siblings and I-- beyond a place to live and food to eat,-- were seldom met. I don't know what part this plays in my Bipolar disorder. All of my siblings have mood disorders and some have drug and alcohol issues as well.
