[quote=Anonymous]My family is pretty messed up -- a lot of mental illness, substance abuse, divorce and poverty. I wouldn't trade them for anything. They are hysterical and interesting and love me unconditionally and most of all, they are all I have in life that really matters. Everything good and bad in me I got from them. I loved this David Sedaris piece about his imperfect family after his mentally ill sister committed suicide. My favorite part: Though I’ve often lost faith in myself, I’ve never lost it in my family, in my certainty that we are fundamentally better than everyone else. It’s an archaic belief, one that I haven’t seriously reconsidered since my late teens, but still I hold it. Ours is the only club I’d ever wanted to be a member of, so I couldn’t imagine quitting. http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2013/10/28/131028fa_fact_sedaris?currentPage=all[/quote]
