In my opinion, every single family that exists is functional in some respects and dysfunctional in others. It is how you interact in the family that really matters. Sometimes you don't have much of a choice but it's all you have.

When I was little, I used to watch family TV shows and had this idea of a perfect family. I remember that i thought that only my family was dysfunctional and always felt jealous when i would see how other families interact. During the years I started to understand that things aren't what they seem on the surface. But I think that I still have this idealised picture of a family.

Well on some levels, yes, there are aspects of my family when I was a young child that were pretty much .... Dysfunctional.
I guess I still carry part of the aftermath this day.
Luckily my new T is unraveling these issues and is helping me unpack the emotional turmoil that it caused.
So I think we can heal.
How long it takes to heal, doesn't matter, so long as we are able to move towards our journey of recovery, each in our own way.

It's nice to know that there is a possibility to recover from these issues.
I'm just a little more concerned about how to make my relatives see that their arguments and maltreatment doesn't affect only them but the whole family especially the children.
