"The little world of childhood with its familiar surroundings is a model of the greater world. The more intensively the family has stamped its character upon the child, the more it will tend to feel and see its earlier miniature world again in the bigger world of adult life. Naturally this is not a conscious, intellectual process."
— Carl Jung, “The Theory of Psychoanalysis
So he is saying that if you had a good, secure childhood you will have the same adulthood. And the opposite; bad childhood, bad adulthood. All this going on in the sub-consciousness. So anyway, I think a bad or rough childhood can be overcome into a happy life. I don't think his rule is cast in stone.
I know its not as a matter of fact.
