It sounds like an important issue to me.

Here are some questions about your childhood that might be relevant:

How did adult caregivers relate to you when you were a child?

How often were they kind, attentive, and supportive--versus--how often were they absent, negligent, unkind, uninterested, or abusive?

What typically happened when you asked them for something?

What happened if you disagreed with them and said so?

How much could they be relied upon when you needed them?

To what extent (if at all) did they use alcohol to excess or use recreational drugs?
