growing up in contention does, indeed, affect the brain.
my stbx grew up in similar, tho not as bad, circumstances. after 32 years of the most unconditional love i could muster, and he could never access it. could never trust me.

i would say when it comes up, be honest. there may very well be some deep common ground under that fear and pain.

keep on keepin on.
