I was wondering what others here think about the factors that usually go in to dysfunctional families, i.e., fighting (like children usually); constant financial mishap/hardship; unable to work together personally without endless problems; legal issues; general "unfitting" between members; etc.
Is it just the common low-energy/serotonin/stress stuff? What really is the core issue with these structures?
Because although everybody has some stress sometimes, every family doesn't quite fit this label very strongly to warrant concern. I don't know if any here have experience with dysfunction within families first hand, but I do -- and it's a tiring, stressful, up and down mess that definitely takes its toll on you as a kid (the helplessness; stress; anger; unresolved issues; mixed emotions; fighting; emotional abuse/neglect; fear; you name it).
Another point worth mentioning is that most dysfunctional families unfortunately never "get better" -- they always tend to stay with constant tension, bickering, arguing/fighting/disorder and etc. to the point where some just accept the craphole of issues surrounding them indefinitely -- or strive to get away from it I guess.
One of the worst things is the lack of aspiration for anything -- the often bleak/cynical nature toward everything that spreads like toxic fumes.
