Dear Airene:

You are welcome and thank you.

One brother and sister rebelled. Another brother and you submitted (the verb I use, you used the adjective complacent). You don’t remember feeling angry at your mother when she yelled.

It could be that you didn’t feel angry: you felt fear and stayed in fear, therefore, submitted (?)

Two of your siblings felt fear, no doubt, but then went to anger and rebelled.

You think that submission, or being complacent worked better for the two of you than did rebelling to the other two?
