Just like not all children from the same family have same lives and same successes, similarly, not all children from dysfunctional families are lucky enough to be able to escape generational curses.

24. The definition of pain/ boundary of pain is ever-narrowing at an individual level. One person’s pain may not be much at all even for thought for another person.
