I wouldn't change anything. I grew up in a poor, dysfunctional family with alcoholism, and no male role model. I have a happy marriage (34 years,) have a college degree, travel (appreciating other cultures and lifestyles,) am financially independent, take care of what I feed my body and exercise. I am not perfect, but through hard work, I am proof that you can free yourself from what you grew up with.
