I agree and I don't. Everything exists on a spectrum. But when I try to remember my childhood, the memories invariably bring me pain and I regret the attempt, so in retrospect I'd call out unhappy, even if there were happy hours and days.

Yes, I suspect this is something everyone has to decide for themselves.
