What really makes a family “functional” or “dysfunctional”? I believe that there is a fine line between the art of “functioning” and NOT “functioning” as a family. I believe that every family has aspects of both a functional living situation and a dysfunctional living situation.
Each family is completely unique. We all have separate values and aspirations, different motives and priorities. Every family has a different type of glue that holds them together. However, I believe that every family shares a common bond of love.
It is how we nurture our love for our family members that determines how “functional” a family is. Let’s face it. Although we love our family, we do make mistakes. We forget how important they really are to us. We lose sight of the importance of keeping their best interests in mind. I believe that if we cherish the love we have for our family, that we will be able to function as a family unit. However, when that love becomes second place to our own selfish wants and needs, we lose the ability to smoothly operate as a family.
