[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have dysfunctional family members. Once I had children, I cut them out of my life for good. I refuse to allow my children to feel as though dysfunction, alcoholism, abuse, etc are normalized.[/quote] NP, I disagree. I think those relatives are a good warning to your children. As long as you have string boundaries. My grandparents had massive life-long disabilities from smoking. You better believe I was never tempted to smoke. My Uncle was in and out of rehab. I didn't see the gore of that situation although I saw my cousin in the middle or bottom of her addition journey too. In both cases, I expressed 100% support for their sober journey ans seeing them when they were sober. [/quote]
