I think that all families are quirky, but the longer I live, the more I see how pervasive some form of abuse is (and was) in families that I have heard about. For mine, it was psychological abuse by an alcoholic father. So, as much as we tried, as adults, to get past it, we were all permanently affected by the sadness and regret of the family dysfunction. And we could all be as snide and mean as he was. I wish that when people decide to have a family, they would think long and hard about what that really means and how fragile and unique each individual's happiness and well being are. And what a responsibility it is, to see to the needs of everyone involved. JMO
