[quote=Anonymous]DH and I both have some really f*cked up families. His parents were emotionally neglectful and are still dysfuctional. They don't even like each other (but are still together). My mother was physically abusive to me growing up. She is nicer to me now because I am her only sober child. My siblings are irresponsible, selfish and opportunistic. Both DH and I are going through lots of therapy because we don't want to impart all the dysfunction we grew up with to our child. I am still trying to work out what my relationship with my family should be, but I suspect we will become increasingly distant. I wish I had a good relationship with my mother or my sister, but I have to accept their brokenness. One thing I feel sadness about is that our child does not have 'the doting grandparents' or the reliable uncle or aunt. I wish I could fix that. We decided to pick a friend as a guardian for our child. The silver lining is that we have a solid group of friends. [/quote]
