[quote=Anonymous]I grew up with no childhood trauma.  But my mother lost her parents at 9 and 14 (backdrop if the Great Depression and WWII). My father had a fairly idyllic life.  So my sister and I came out more resilient than you would expect.    Perhaps because our parents lived through such trying times and helped us figure out what was a small problem and what was a real problem.

No real trauma.  Normal deaths at normal times.  My remaining grandparents lived to 87 and 99.  My parents each lived to 84.  I ended up with two children with SN.  We tackled it fairly well.  My "trauma" and PSTD tendencies come from the IEPs, interactions with the schools, and the effort it took to get our youngest the tools and things he needed.  Youngest just received his BS and is taking a year off to recalibrate and apply to grad school.  Some of my PTSD has been triggered by the process it took him to get accommodations for the GRE and for him to take one grad school class this fall..  Again, it took far too long and has labyrinthian steps.  [/quote]
