I believe that every family has some dysfunction in it. Who says what is right and what is not when it comes to being a family and how you act. I do believe there is a healthy dysfunctional, and a destroying dysfunctional. In my opinion it is the ones that try to cover it up or cant talk about it that is the destroyer. When you are able to talk about it, and admit that you are not perfect or better then any other family, that is when it becomes a healthy dysfunction.
I have a very large family, with uncles, aunts, cousins nieces and nephews there is 87 of us. In that mix there is Hispanic, African American, Asian, white, and American Indian. I have an aunt who is a lesbian, an uncle that is gay. My Grandpa married my grandmas sister, when she died, it was her dying wish! There is blue collar people, white collar people, business owners people, stay at home people, do nothing people, we have them all. When we get together it is 5 generations of pure chaos, you find yourself screaming at some points just to carry on a conversation with the person next to you.
To me this is what a healthy dysfunctional family looks like, we don't hide it, we wear it proud. We do not judge, we invite you in when you have know where to go for holidays, or you want to go to a bar b que but you just moved to town and don't know anyone. I believe that to have any fun in this short time we have on this planet, you need to be a little dysfunctional.
