Job, this is a page from my childhood. My parents were never there for me emotionally. And there was a lot of criticism (my Mom) or not caring (my Dad). My H had a very loving Mom. Not sure how his Dad was, as I met him when he was on his 3rd wife and he also came across as a very selfish man. So, why it not me who is in MLC?
