    I need a scientist to determine if the mental health benefit of moving out versus the mental health crisis of having no money ever results in a net positive or negative multiplier on my mental health

      Same. They always tried their best to give me the childhood they wish they had; to avoid passing on trauma they experienced. The cycle can be broken.

      To any future parents who had traumatic childhoods, just know that you can give someone else what you deserved. You aren’t destined to become your parents. Your kids will appreciate having good parents once they grow up. It’s hard not to once you learn about the pain most people experience.
