Childhood issues

Many people are aware that problems in their childhood have always affected their mood or how they relate to other people.  This could be about an experience of childhood abuse - whether sexual, physical or emotional.   Not all difficulties are about 'abuse' - it may be that aspects of how you were treated by your parents have stayed with you and cause you problems.  Most parents try their best, given the physical and emotional resources they have.  Even their best attempt may have left you with difficulties in adult life.
