The affects this can have on someone can vary, however, often one may deeply desire the "control" they did not have in their childhood. How that can manifest into some unhealthy thoughts/behaviors/challenges. Some of these are listed in this article:

Some of the questions about "why do I" that can present with complex PTSD can come from things one may not really realize that is not their fault but how that person had to adapt to their childhood environment. |
As you know my Dad was an alcoholic, but usually he wouldn't drink at the house because mom was so against it. But after his father died in an accident at our house that is when he started drinking at home. But where he drank was not the issue really it was the violent that came out when he drank was the problem.
