Can having parents who argue all the time during my child hood (and now) affect me? and how?

I feel like although I ignored it a lot, it really got to me and changed me a lot

If you grew up believing your parents weren't happy then that may explain a lot of your feelings and attitudes as both a child AND as an adult.

It may make you wary of relationships. May give you the idea that 'parents aren't happy people' or that perhaps in some way (in your mind at least) that perhaps they 'regret' having children.

Some, or NONE of the above may be true. But it does make you wonder.

@SW-User I really regret not chatting to my dad more about his relationship with my mother before he lost his mind to Alzheimer's disease.
But i guess part of me felt that if they had managed to let the past go and move on, maybe i should just leave it there.
