LOL! Yes, I do think it means having a loving family - one you mostly felt safe with. Does that mean "normal"? Meh, what's normal?

I know for me, even though we weren't a perfect family, we did have profound respect and love for each other. We were very close - strongly attached to each other in healthy ways. That doesn't mean we always agreed or there weren't errors along the way. It does mean we could honor each other despite our disagreements; we could admit our failings and forgive our imperfections. And we could trust . . . easily.
