The Wordsmith's Forge

Yet Bucky and Steve managed to form a bond and come through their childhood in pretty good shape. Good enough for Steve to become Captain America, good enough for Bucky to salvage some core of himself under the rubble of HYDRA abuse. Because they had a healthy relationship with each other, they actually had some of the the best setup out of the Avengers, probably similar to Phil. Most of the Avengers were abused by family, and that just guts their foundation. :(
