Man receives only that which he gives. The Game of Life is a game of boomerangs. For example: A friend told me this story of herself, illustrating the law. I am often irritable at home, and one day, said to my aunt, who was talking to me during dinner. My friend is high in consciousness, so her Karma returns much more quickly than to one on the mental plane. The more man knows, the more he is responsible for, and a person with a knowledge of Spiritual Law, which he does not practice, suffers greatly, in consequence. It is the law which takes vengeance, not God.

Karmic Transformations
You may have some Karma to complete in your life, like all of us do, and it may be with one or more family members. We sometimes choose a family in which we feel unfairly treated or even abused or abandoned. Karma might be the cause of the treatment you experienced in childhood. Rather, it is the completion of a lesson our soul chose to learn. Most souls work on learning their big karmic lessons over many lifetimes. An example would be that of an unhappy marriage. Your next life may be a lifetime where you have an alcoholic parent or spouse because our soul wishes to learn about this situation from the other side. Your soul may want to learn how to work with the emotions and trauma the situation brings into your life in a clear and conscious way.
