I honestly believe that all parents are dysfunctional. There is no such thing as a perfect person, so what makes a perfect parent?
I consider my parents really good, but it didn't change the fact that they had their own set of problems. Nearly all my years in high school my parents fought constantly about different things. My dad had a problem/infection which helped cease their romantic relationship. My mom is from South Korea and as I grew up she became very home sick. For the language, the food and her family. She wanted to live near the ocean and eat fresh fish. However, my dad decided he liked Arizona and we never left. (He was in the military and stationed in Arizona.)
Once I went to college, my parents started to make some amends. They don't have an intimate relationship, but they're happy in their marriage as far as I know.
