Yes, I would say it is common, well at least 50% of the time.
I raised my 2 sons after their mother took a vacation from reality through drug addiction. I had a lot of difficulty with 1 of the 2 boys. Psychologist and therapist to numerous to count and none of it did so much as a lick of good. He pissed a few of them off as he refused to speak up or cooperate with any of them.
It finally worked itself out as earned his own independence in life. Sorry I don't have a more clinical answer, but as I said he refused to cooperate with any one. All I can say is in his frustration he often complained "All I want is to be a normal family"
Dinner on time the same time every night, a very structured environment, pizza night, clean up day, annual vacations with regularity and a heavy emphasis on a "dependable" environment all helped quite a bit.
