Anyone come from a dysfunctional family?

Question

How do you deal with it? :/
I’m envious of people who are actually close with their family and have a loving family.

Answer

Its hard. My family is very distant and my husbands is very close. We live near my husbands family and states away from mine, which actually helps me a little, but its still hard sometimes when i feel like I want my family to be the same as his.
I have a hard time integrating with his family because some of the stuff they do is foreign to me (family dinners, going out together, saying i love you). So i just take my time with it and make sure I get space when im feeling overwhelmed.

Answer

Mines semi dysfunctional. It becomes more dysfunctional as people pass away and money becomes involved. The best you can do is limit the toxic people and carry on. 
Or you can be petty like my dad and send cards to your toxic family for every holiday, birthday and anniversary and have everyone sign it to show “everyone cares even if they don’t”

Answer

I was envious. But then I realised that I can’t control what other people do. Also family earn their place in my life and don’t get to be around if they genuinely don’t care. My SO and my close friends are my family. You can choose to build a better one

Answer

We stay civil. But moving away from them was one of the best things I’ve ever done. Distance gives parents more perspective I think.
It’s no wonder my brother moved to South Korea 😂

Answer

It’s been hard. My husbands family has been better to me than my own, and it hurts but I have to realize that they’re all just people with their own problems and love them for whatever it’s worth so I don’t turn bitter.

Answer

I grew up without my dad so when my boyfriend goes to his parents house, I usually stay in the car and don't speak or see them

Answer

I had to remove my mother from my life many times it’s been years now and my life is much healthier without her. It’s not easy but it is necessary.
