Description

Dear Eric: I grew up in a house that always felt tense. My parents bickered constantly, my sister was demanding and always in a conflict with them, and my grandparents would scream at each other. As the youngest in the household, I learned to not cause any trouble and when the tensions were high, I was the mediator who tried to get everyone to calm down (starting around age 5).
