> So your parents own issues contributed to the environment and since your were so sensitive, you took it all in.
Yes, absolutely. My parents did their best possible by me, and my mother had the training so that her best really was pretty darn good. But actions really aren't the only thing that matter, no matter what my parents thought. My father's mood disorder influenced us, no matter how much he did what he ought. And my mother's instability in mood and thought had an impact, because how she perceived the world influenced how we saw it, at least for a very long time.
And of course the fact that they really disliked each other and ought never have been together had a huge impact. They never particularly tried to cover it. Daddy blamed Mother. Mother blamed Daddy. And of course nothing had to do entirely with my brother or me.
