You would think that if you go through a rather traumatic childhood you would make sure your own kids don't go through something similar. But some people just have problems I guess (my brother was also on the front line in the war so I guess that probably screwed him up somewhat and contributed to his alcoholism, aside from having a bipolar wife and a dysfunctional marriage).
Javier (my boyfriend) is quite surprised how relatively normal I turned out compared to the rest of my family.  |
It seems like people generally either tend to perpetuate their traumas, or do the opposite. It's a marvellous achievement to turn out ok after living through childhood issues like that
