[quote=Anonymous]I would say no family is perfect, no matter what they look like from the outside (except the ones in the Norman Rockwell paintings). Learned this in my mid-twenties, and life was much smoother after that. Humans are quirky, weird, broken, mean, and fortunately, some are pretty awesome. Families are made up of all kinds. My family of origin is bold, brash, quirky, and I love every bit of them. Growing up, I just wanted them to be normal like all the other families. Over time I learned that some of the families I thought were normal, were anything but (bankrupt, abusive, alcoholic, and more). I'm at the point where our kids are launched, one set of grandparents passed a long time ago (kids were in ES) and the other set of grandparents are needing help and support. Fortunately, I'm able to help, but the challenges they are facing as they grow older and their bodies and minds continue to change, are incredibly difficult for them, and me trying to help[/quote]
