[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Observationally, a lot of "functional" families that are drama-free, warm, welcoming, no abuse, addiction, codependency, etc. also tend to have this dynamic of exclusivity and "our home is a refuge, our family is better than everyone else". Not to say this is a bad thing, but in my experience having friends from these types of families, they breed sanctimony and judgement. Understandably so - when you come from a place of comfort and understanding you feel discomfort and even disgust when you're around dysfunction. [/quote] Oddly, this sounds like my and dh's current family home and life. We both grew up with traumas and profound dysfunction. We've done the work on ourselves -years before marrying and having children of our own. There is no way we will allow our histories to be visited upon them. We call out dysfunction when we see it and we avoid it (and our families) as much as possible.[/quote]
