I had a great childhood (until about age 10 or so) and a very good relationship with my parents. My mother was like a best friend to me who I could share anything with and very open minded for someone her age (she would have been 82 now). My father was more conservative but also very supportive. No complaints about my parents. I also have a good relationship with my older brother. I've never been one of those to "blame the family" for my problems.
