[quote=Anonymous]I had a cookie-cutter traditional American childhood with a nuclear family, no divorce, and a 30 year mortgage. Same house from birth until I moved away to college. But my parents were abusive and neglectful and my family was deeply dysfunctional and I've spent much of my adulthood working through those issues and filling in the massive gaps in how I was parenting. I have a friend who was an only child whose parents moved every 2-3 years when she was a kid and she's a well-adjusted, reasonably happy adult. I will say she will tell you that those moves were hard on her. But she's not screwed up and she has good relationships with her parents now. It's not the mortgage or the appearance of normalcy that makes a childhood good.[/quote]
