I find this a hard question to answer.
I don't think I was very happy as a child, no.
But I had an exceptionally stable home, apart from my father's bad health. (He died when I was 14.)
We had reasonable physical comfort, were given standards, the family was respected in the community ... but I was a very conflicted child.
I eventually worked all that out, and now when I look back, I can't understand the unhappiness I felt then.
But, that's what I felt.
