Every family is dysfunctional.

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

Everybody has some dysfunction in their families.

I grew up in a dysfunctional family.

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 love my family, even as I critique their dysfunctionalities.

We come from fallible parents who were kids once, who decided to have kids and who had to learn how to be parents. Faults are made and damage is done, whether it's conscious or not. Everyone's got their own 'stuff,' their own issues, and their own anger at Mom and Dad. That is what family is. Family is almost naturally dysfunctional.

Being a family in general is a comedy of errors.

A family is very special. So when a family splits up, it's not good, it's never good.
