As the title says? Mine was mixed drunk raging stepfather but that only lasted a few years.
Avoided the worst 1980s had to offer especially vs the guys who got it the worst. Mother did here best but she wasn’t exactly mother of the year but she was limited by her upbringing and first husband’s abuse.
So broadly speaking mixed. Broken home, yelling, etc but could have been worse. Probably more positive than negative but not by a lot. Early 90s were worse.

I was loved by my mom and brothers, always had food in my stomach, a roof over my head, and the lights were always on. So I’d say yes.
I wouldn’t redo it. I spent a lot of time outside in nature and had lots of fun
Ive been smoking an endless parade of marijuana yo try and forget the 80s and the so called childhood i had.
It was an absolute nightmare. Can’t tell ya how many times I thought I was going to die after being payment for my mother’s drug use. Everyone knew about it but nobody cared. Dealing with cptsd is hell.
