In my mid to late 50s, i went for counselling in San Diego. i saw two counsellors over a period of time. Both told me that people who have lived through the degree of abuse that I have lived through do not survive beyond the age of 25.
So based on what you say, I should have been a psychopath. In fact, my daughter should have been as well. And every single Jew who lived through the holocaust should have been one as well.
Sorry, genes influence it. So does brain chemistry.

About 15 years ago, I read a study in the UK. If one had a certain gene, and a particular brain chemistry, it was almost 100% sure, you would become a criminal, regardless of whether you came from a good home or a bad home. In addition, people who had terrible childhoods, who had neither those genes, nor that brain chemistry, overcame their childhood disadvantage.
