Oh don't get me wrong, I completely agree that family always has some affect on the person, just that they should not be held accountable for the actions of the individual unless it's proven that they in fact enabled that kind of behavior. But most families are immediately judged and held accountable and that I find unjust as well as unfair. Some though, deserve their share of the blame at least.
I suffered from bad depression. I mean, extreme as in cutting, wanting to die sort of depression for years, and I had no control over my emotions through most of my youth, it was horrible. Not to mention feeling stupid because of my dyslexia and social incompetence. I just didn't get people and didn't know how to behave around them so I went around imitating others' behavior and I annoyed people a lot because of that. So yeah, control is a major issue for me, but yeah, I so get what you're saying.
Jeez, I was so clueless about everything around me and lived mostly in my head so I didn't notice a lot of things when I was younger, so I guess I lucked out because if someone was bullying me, I didn't notice at all. I just thought they were jerks.
