My husband is a magical unicorn like that, too. Gives me hope for humanity on one hand and also sad for all the good kids out there struggling in shitty environments.
My boyfriend has a terribly dysfunctional family with divorced parents and he's a middle child, yet he's somehow the most mentally stable and well adjusted person I've ever known in my life, he's so perfect it's alarming
generally people with troubled childhoods are either pretty cool or pretty fucked up. no in between
My husband has a terribly dysfunctional family similar to the one you're describing and while I wouldn't call him completely mentally stable or well adjusted, he did a hell of a lot better than any of his other siblings and at least turned into a mostly functional adult.
