[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, but my husband is and my friends are and my kids are. I come from a lot of dysfunction. So does DH. We worked hard to form a healthier system.[/quote]

Same here. I have separated from most of my family of origin due to atrocious behavior (the story of being told not to travel to Italy because it would upset someone else is spot on for my family as well) and I have never been happier. To the point that when I have an interaction with a family member on occasion, I'm shocked at how bad they act towards me since I have distance and I no longer see it as normal or acceptable the way I used to. It's amazing how predictable they can be in their undermining, petty behavior and understand it really is about them being unhappy with themselves so have to shit all over other people to hide it.

My husband and I have also created a healthier family unit for ourselves and our kids. Even now as young adults, they still want to hang out with us and regularly tell us how they appreciate us. That is also how I know we made the right choices.
