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?

Yes. Even my only sibling was sort of loving, every now and then. There were certainly times I didn't [b]feel[/b] that way, of course, especially those years between 12 and maybe 18. Even then though, I knew what fine and honorable people my parents were.

@Piper As an adult, my sister would often joke with our mother about how...."challenging"....my sister was as a teenager!

@DrWatson There was maybe about a year or two, when I was pretty "challenging". I told my dad a several years ago, that I wouldn't have blamed him a bit if he'd taken the car keys away from me. That used one he bought for me when I acquired my driver's license, as he did for my brother before me. That was looking [b]back[/b], of course.
