The more we get into therapy the more I see how my childhood may have been the beginning of some of my issues. I just keep bouncing back and forth on it though. On one hand it wasn't that good, maybe even bad. One the other hand I don't think the abuse and neglect were intentional, acts they were just doing what they thought was the best they could do. It's a complex situation with many factors contributing to the outcomes. I guess that's why it is so hard to sort out.
