To be honest, I don't think I would have chosen to marry my husband if he HADN'T gone to boarding school! What I mean is that it can be the making of some in that they become their own person unencumbered by parental lifestyle choices.

Anyone here sent to boarding school at a young age?

If so, do you feel it has impacted on you all your life? Do you have reactions/behavioural patterns etc that you can see link to those early experiences. I have just been reading about "Boarding School Survivors" - the main focus is on boys/men but there are some references to the impact on women and I have been surprised by some of the things that I can identify in myself.

Just interested in whether anyone else feels the same way?
