Aside from hugs and kisses hello, goodbye, and goodnight, no. Emotionally affectionate never happened.
Yes
Very very much!
Yes
I got lots of hugs and kisses from both of my parents. My mom has always been emotionally affectionate, but my dad's emotional affection was very random. My brother and I would wrestle a lot, playfully and sometimes not so playfully, so that's affectionate, right?
They were both
No we weren't really. Typical Asian family don't really talk or give hugs.
No.
Yes, certain people at certain times they were ok then the exact opposite

NO, plain and simple NO.
My parents weren't very stable and they're divorced now. But his family has been together a very long time, they've adopted several kids and love each other very much. They have a successful marriage. I don't know how affectionate they are towards each other but it's obvious they were meant to be together.
No not growing up really. We had "mommy" hugs but that's about it.

My family was emotionally affectionate but not physically
