Interesting - I can't relate to that that much, but I notice people report different experiences and have different assumptions about parents, I wonder which is more common ... I guess this calls for a poll!

So how much do you think this describes your childhood?

My family is horribly fucked up

Yes No

I spent most of my childhood in excruciating suffering of some kind

Yes No

f I tried to tell my parents about it they called me mean names

Yes No

(I agree with your conclusion, by the way!)

Submitting...

Wow, that is a lot of "Yes" responses.

I am in shock at the "yes" responses to the third question. Relevant

The "My family is horribly fucked up" is kinda fuzzy. I consider "fairly fucked up" to be the norm. So if my family is about average, should I vote close to Yes (because they're not horribly fucked up, but sorta) or should I vote No (because they are the norm)?
