That's really lovely of you .. but you don't need to feel guilty.. perhaps a better thing would be to feel thankful, or grateful ...
I think for many of us we were so used to those things that we saw them as normal.. many of our friends had similar experiences.. some didn't for sure, but sometimes one becomes habitualised.

Thank you. No need to feel guilty, but we survivors appreciate understanding. Most chastise us for not loving our parents.

My dad feels bad occasionally for not being close with his parents because he wasn’t physically abused. @curiosi

Yeah that always sucks ☹️
Though with 35+ years difference between you and your peers, it's a bit harder to compare the two, as it was a different world back then.

I never really fixated on the tough times of my youth.
I just survived and moved on.

Don’t feel guilty. We do what we can with the cards were dealt.

No point in feeling [b]guilty[/b] about it, you were fortunate.
Guilt would imply that you did something [b]wrong[/b].
You didn’t; you just pulled a better hand than many.
No one chooses the circumstances under which they’re born.
If you had good parents and a loving family, be thankful and pay it forward with kindness to others. 🙂
