Along the similar lines of what @Open Eyes is saying about kids in environments like that, even if they stay away from drugs & alcohol, they over time learn dysfunctional ways of responding to people like that.
I know personally growing up in a dysfunctional home over the years I started responding with anger & then when I saw similar behaviors in my own marriage, my anger responses grew because that was how I had learned to cope with it growing up & I grew into dysfunctional behaviors even though I grew to know exactly what I didn't want to be like I still learned my own dysfunctional ways of dealing with it. I see similar in my own daughter.
It is good y'all got out when you did & can break that dysfunction that was going on & learn healthy ways like you are doing now
