Wow, thanks for igniting this thought about independance as a response to trauma. I will have to dig a bit further. I can see some of that in me too, though not due to my parents but the school environment I grew up in, which fed my mistrust of others. And I always hated teamwork.
Thanks for sharing!
I'm sorry for the lack of kindness and support you went through, but glad you became resilient and are able to talk about it. Growing up, did you have any other family members or friends who were a support or inspiration ?
