I can't fucking stand Gordon Ramsay. I grew up with an abusive stepfather. I think the difference is when the abuse is from one's actual parent, it starts earlier and is internalized as normal. My stepfather wasn't in the picture until I was five, so I already had an established personality, such as it is.
