Impressive? Nah. It's the environment in which I grew up. My father was a noxious bastard, and he and my mother were together for fifteen years too long. I watched his bull damage my mother, and saw the strain she was under to keep the family functioning despite my fathers lack of emotional intelligence, effort, or passion for his family.
When those are the first fifteen years of your life, that is the first thing you learn. It is no different than a person who grows up on a farm becoming an expert in rearing cattle by the time he is twenty nine. It's just a different skill set, for a different environment.
We learn what we see, what we learn becomes what we know, and what we know is a tool to keep us alive. Such is the march of time, as measured by a human mind.

True...*sigh*....I give you a standing ovation for your above reply to Night Star.
What you have said is so TRUE, lol...and I'm impressed that you have learned this knowledge at such a young age. It took some of us much longer.
