Anyone grow up in a family that showed no love?

It's a wonder that actually turned out to be a good person and have done well in my career. My home life was loveless just a basket of dysfunction. We lived with an abusive alcoholic father who aulted ually, verbally, and emotionally from 4 years old until 14 years old. My mother closed her eyes and pretended nothing was happening. I have scars from the ordeal. I flipped into a bipolar disorder. But, I've used my experience to help others. My sense of humor comes from that ordeal, like many other comedians, except I didn't become a star! I choose to care, love and be loved, and bring happiness to others. My 4 daughters are a testimony to that!
