Let's take the toxic family test

How bad was it for you?

I got a 28. Lil bit of toxicity but manageable.

Edit: Genuine trigger warning. If talking childhood trauma is hard for you, give it a skip.

Pretty high. Yet I expected that since mom was an alcoholic. Plus some other things happened.

Tell me is it normal for either parent or other much older siblings, to send a 14 year old to Germany, by themselves, not even speaking the language?

And leave the 14 year old there, for over a week with relatives, none of which they met before, nor who spoke English, nor knew you were coming? 🤷🏻‍♂

Please note drinking beer was a normal thing for 14 year olds in 1973 Germany. And yes that was the first time I ever got drunk.

That's just one incident that I'm comfortable talking about.
