[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I honestly think so, with therapy to help you understand and heal yourself. I also think once you have kids, it helps to be part of a supportive community, be it a church or a neighborhood or a mom's club, as a resource for information and emotional support. I think this becomes particularly important when you don't have family to rely on - you need to create your own extended family. [/quote] +1 DH came from a horribly dysfunctional family. Being around normal people, and seeing what a family is supposed to be, works wonders. He has a saying - "surround yourself with positive" - it could not be more true. And by all means, do NOT hold these dysfunctional people up by giving them jobs and handing over money, it only makes it worse. [/quote]
