Overall, would you say you grew up in a loving household?
No family is perfect, of course. But by the time you reached adulthood, could you look back on your upbringing fondly? Do you feel that basically you had grown up in a loving home?

Sort of no. My mother was a narcissist, and my father was mainly absent. I didn't lack for food or clothing. But there was no real affection. I don't think my parents knew HOW to be affectionate.
I think my father loved me, in his own way. You hang on to the ONE person who holds out the possibility of love...IMO. My mother loved the thought that she could use me to one up her sisters.
