I think it is a wonderful thing that you and your family are very affectionate with each other. Too bad the rest of the world couldn't learn by example...namely that SW. Yeah, she sounds like quite a piece of work. I'm really glad that you had a good visit.

No, you're not dysfunctional in any way as far as I can tell. Be proud that you have a very affectionate family! I would be proud of my daughter, too!
