Quote

Every family is dysfunctional, whether you want to admit it or not.

Everybody has some dysfunction in their families.

I think every family is dysfunctional, and some manage to control it better than others.

If dysfunction means that a family doesn't work, then every family ambles into some arena in which that happens, where relationships get strained or even break down entirely. We fail each other or disappoint each other. That goes for parents, siblings, kids, marriage partners - the whole enchilada.

I grew up in a dysfunctional family.

Everybody's family has problems.

I love my family, even as I critique their dysfunctionalities.

I love books about dysfunctional families.

We fight a lot, you know, but that's family. We may be dysfunctional but we're still family.
