Hello All,

I wanted feedback about starting a "Dysfunctional Family" thread and wanted to get everyone's feedback if it's something anyone would be interested in commenting, making suggestions, offering advice? I can't seem to find a forum with those needs. Thanks.

What do you mean about "Dysfunctional Family?"

 

[Mamachic1967]

For me, growing up my father was an alcoholic, my mother was manic depressed and controlling and very critical. My siblings and I have all grown with warped sense of what's normal. For me, I focus on learning, growing and improving myself where my siblings continue to fight, gossip and create plenty of drama in their lives. I am the odd ball and have been that person in my family since the day I was born. They don't see or want to see their behaviours or discuss issues in a healthy non-confrontational way. My youngest sibling uses Religion as an excuse for her behaviour. My only brother is critical of everything I say or do, I'm not good enough for him or his wife. My oldest sister is suspicious of everything you say and holds grudges then doesn't tell you why she's mad at you. Oh, there's such a long list but that's the basics of my dyfunctional family and what it means to me.
