I have read the above stories and my upbringing seems fairly normal. I am the youngest of 4 sibs. My dad finished his degree in civil engineering after WWII. My mon was a RN. We moved from state to state and overseas about every 2 years.
My dad was just restless and a functional alcoholic. My mother barely tolerated his alcoholism. Twenty years after my dad died I found out my dad went to prostitutes regularly. I though my dad had a girlfriend when I was growing up. My mother was a bitter woman. Perhaps it would have been better if they had divorced.
