I use the word dysfunctional to describe my family situation. I think I use it precisely because it's overused - it's a lot easier to just say "Yeah, my family is a fairly typical dysfunctional family" and then people will leave it at that. I do use it in a dismissive manner, but it helps me accept my family as it is. I do not use it in conversation though, aside from in regards to my own family.
