Not really, people have an idealized memory of that. They don't remember the bad parts. And some of those bad parts remain hidden from them. I mean, women rarely talk about being hit or abused when there were men present. That includes their sons. So many men are shocked when their old mothers divorce well in thero 60s or 70s after a whole life with their fathers. I didn't understand it at first either. But once you think about the "not said" things, it makes a lot more sense.

Fiction is the art to tell lies to show truths. Politics is the art to use truths to tell lies.
