Relationship with parents encourage PMO?

Probably. I have never been close to my family. Only person I talk to is my mother but only recently about personal stuff and even then I only say part of the truth. When I was young my dad was way too strict. Never let me speak, and over reacted to minor infringements. He didn't cope very well with parenting. Now, we could be sitting in a room all day and not say a word to each other Never speak to my brother, it's like he's a stranger to me. I feel all of these things have caused me problems in general.

 

I have a similar situation and yes, PMO is probably one of the ways to cope with the stress induced by family issues
