[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 737490, member: 1550"] Many families had similar lives back then but they were more careful about hiding it. Alcoholism was hidden. Abuse of all kinds was hidden. Sexual abuse hidden....it still often is. My family was as seperated then as you think only families are today. Its not different, just discussed in theh open with less of a stigma. I am glad. I wish I could have discussed it as a kid. I dont think there was much of a difference other than things were hidden and abuse was accepted. My family was hidden. Until I became a teen and started talking. And I found out there were others in bad situations too. Many kids left at 18 because of crazy family life. Beaver Cleaver was a television show, not everyones reality. But thats another thing. Abuse was never shown on the media. So I dont think anything was better other than what we showed to the public. The CEO who hung himself across the street from mine, the one with such a great marriage and lovely kids, did not have a chance to tell his story. Back then, nobody talked and nobody listened.
