Lynn, was your childhood 'normal'? I have a theory that people who grewMy childhood was relatively normal. My father was a screamer, and was disappointed that he got two girls instead of sons, but wasn't physically abusive. I didn't feel particularly wanted, and could never be 'good enough' for my father (there's a load of baggage), but I always had plenty and felt safe.
up in households where there was minimal dysfunction generally have
fewer fears about things, whereas people like me who grew up in abusive
households never quite process it all well, end up having scary dreams,
and then of course that affects their waking life and adulthood.
