We've got a thread going now on how various persons were affected by or able to rise above abusive and dysfunctional childhoods. That means there are a lot of people here who would love to know what it's like to grow up in a loving, supportive, peaceful home environment where there was little or no alcohol, verbal or physical abuse, emotional or physical abandonment, etc.,....a home where parents expressed love and concern for their children on a regular basis.

If you feel your childhood years were great, it would be really nice for many of us to hear some details about just what it's like to grow up in a nice, loving home.

Has anyone here who came from a really nice home found themselves paired up with another from a highly dysfunctional childhood environment and were you able to work through that.

Many thanks in advance for your comments.
