Renée I think I might be a member of a dysfunctional family. me and my sister do most of the work, so mostly when my mom comes back from work, she used to go to bed, when now she's on the computer all day till she cooks ( unless she wants me or my sister to do it ) she never leaves us alone for one second, she has these outburts of anger, which results in saying weird things like, I only live for you, like my dad and sister don't even exist. though normally, it's like she doesn't care about me. I have some health problems, which are making me extremely tired ( I might have add or such ) she still wants me to do it all, to accept it all, to go through with it all. my sister is gonna live by herself next week with her boyfriend. I've never had a boyfriend, but my mom always wants to talk about sex and if I masturbate, if I like it and such and it's driving me crazy, it's none of her business I think. so she's always confronting me with these chores, also when she's going off somewhere, she plays the trumpet with my dad in severa;l bands so they're gone a lot. my dad is anothewr story completely. he's aways very cold and loud. he used to hit me, like when I was 6 years old he used to storm in my room screaming he lost his toothbrush, that it was my fault and I had to go and look for it. so I rushed outta my room, into the bathroom and found it somewhere in a corner on the floor. I gave it to him, and he hit me in the face. he's never comforted me in anything. he's just harsh. like now when I ask him questions about math and don't get it he's like, u can't do it, you FAIL and you'll FAIL your exams and won't graduate and stuff. it hurts a lot since math is so important and I really wanna graduate. he's very harsh, all the time, and never really sweet. just to my mom and the dogs. he's been worse to my sister, even though he never hit her. like when we went to a barbeque of some of my parents' friends, me and my mom left early, and my sister and dad stayed a bit longer. he totally mapped out all of my sister failures to his friends, being harsh and rude, disapproving ( due circumstances my sister has only one diploma ) my sister was just behind him. he's never afraid to show his emotions or speak his mind. he always screams or has a sudden outburst and when he does that to me now, I can't mouth off of course, but I just hunch and just get panicked, something huge gets over me and I can't control it. sometimes I have these sudden daydreams or nightmarews where he comes in the room and totally beats me up, mom screaming, panicking in my doorway. I truly believe such thing could happen. my mom always stands up for us against dad 11/19/2010
Janie I had to remove myself from all the dysfunction in my families by moving to a different state;
I suffer from most of the traits listed in this article. I have tried to rise above all of the hurt/deceit/lies and luckily have a supportive husband. My goal was to be a good hands on mother and be there for my three children. I did not lay a hand on them and I gently pushed them towards goal oriented activities and pursuing a college education of which they have all graduated. My problem now is Ii have an empty nest; my husband is a workaholic and I simply exist.		 7/26/2010
