I don't know how universal it is, but where I'm from people brag about having a rough upbringing like it's a badge of honor. It leads to a really silly culture where people feel a social pressure to exaggerate and mythologize their childhoods as a series of legendary conquests. You'll notice in OPs image that the event that they endured was spending a day playing with a sprinkler and then eating a sandwich at the neighbor's house.
Seems that way. A lot of immigrant groups tend to be of a "lower class" as well that unfortunately involve a more abusive upbringing. I was shocked at the amount of US latinos that talk about the "chancla" and being hit by their parents as a regular thing. I never saw that from anyone in my family or my friends, but the kids that had that happen to them were usually raised in the poorer parts of the cities.

Well if I was Winona Rider's character, I definitely would have fucked Ethan Hawke's character so they were cooking with that one

From personal experience yes
The amount of times as a child that a kids dad coming home was a reason to leave was too damn high.

I’m so Pavlov’d that when I get anxious I start expecting to hear the garage door.
Millennials turned into nervous wrecks because we had to deal with our fucked up Boomer and Gen X elders lol
jk I love my older comrades
Seriously. I've been trained to second guess every decision that I make.
