Another huge one is the gap between people who grew up in families with or without a history of alcoholism. There's a whole range of weird codependent stuff that is pretty much exclusive to alcoholic families.
Reading Al-Anon stuff is actually one of the easiest ways to start getting a feel for what it's like to live in a world with completely different base assumptions, since so much of that is just different ways of explaining that "No, that's not normal."
