Dysfunctional Families
Do you have a dysfunctional family? I am 37 years old and can’t afford to move out. I have bipolar 1 disorder and disabled. I’m super stable because of my rigid self-care.
My parents relationship is very unhealthy. My mom mentally abused my dad and it hurts me. I can’t speak up for my dad because my mom will kick me out.
I would feel better if people here would describe a dysfunctional family or relationship so I will gain perspective.
I can’t change my parents. But I can change how I feel.
@babybluerose Hi! I read this last line and had to think about it "I can’t change my parents. But I can change how I feel." That is so very true and it is all we can do to act not react too. It's hard to describe a dysfunctional family too as there are so many different ways they might be. Having a label doesn't always help anyway.
It is really good that you are super stable too, well done!
