[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I come from a moderately functional family and while my family has issues, we thankfully did not have very large ones such as alcoholism, physical or verbal abuse or mental illness.

The effect of this on me was two-pronged: on one hand I was wary of people with obvious dysfunction as I had a theoretical understanding of how scary such situations can be and I did not want to be sucked in the world of toxicity and dysfunction. I was scared of alcoholics and obviously abusive people as no one had treated me poorly in my immediate family.

So, a part of me did judge them and not want to associate with them as I did not want to be hurt or drawn in.

On the other hand, my easy and loving family life made me very naive as to the workings of true evil and dysfunction. I also had no skills to decipher between good genuine people versus broken dangerous people such as narcissists or personality disorders. I was love bombed and I married my current narcissi tic husband. I truly had NO idea what I was dealing with as I had no experience in determining his intentions. [/quote]
