Having been on this board awhile, I have seen 3 major themes pop up when it comes to MLC and childhodd:
1. There is inadequate direction and support, either due to a chaotic environment or abandonment.
2. There's repression/avoidance of emotions, and the attempt to make everything appear to be going along fine. And when things do go wrong, there is more blame than personal responsibility.
3. The MLCer may have experienced a loss of childhood, having been put in a position of needing to grow up too fast.
