[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Me too except 3 of my siblings have substance abuse problems, one is dead from an overdose and the other is in jail.

So ... there is the other issue that most kids don't really survive that sort of environment.[/quote]

Similar story here (no jail).  My bet is about 50/50, a little higher than your estimation.  Because some people want to be better than their parents - given this kind of situation.  Then, there are those that will never be good enough, so they give up.  Not to sound trite or dismissive, because there is much more to this type of environment. Thanks for sharing, OP.

Does anoye know about this, in your day to day life?  I am curious, because no one knows about mine.  [/quote]

So yes about 50/50... there are 6 of us.

BTW... the one in jail made $350K a year. Another one has a company that was making $500K/year until he crashed... coke.  One sibling move across the country at 17 and never looked back but quit working at 50 because his anxieties are terrible... but his wife make tons of money so he is a SAHD... to his teens. [/quote]
