My dysfunctional family includes a lot of people who never knew how to
communicate with each other. There are and were a lot of unnecessary
hard feelings. I hope not to pass that on to my children but I probably
am despite my intentions. If that's true, then my children, without
therapy, will probably have dysfunctional marriages wherein my
daughters will become doormats, gain 30 lbs, and be terribly unhappy and
my son will be oblivious to anything but his 6 pack of beer and remote
control when his wife walks out with their kids. If, by some stroke of
luck, I succeed and can teach them how to have a good marriage, then
I'll have beaten the odds and done for them what two generations of
family couldn't do for my siblings and me. Although how I'm going to do
that without a spouse is still a mystery.

Wouldn't make a very good "functional" role model either. Hmmmmmmmmm g
I'm outta ideas. I know you will do the best you can to make a difference. Your
children are lucky to have you, you are a good mother, I can see that.
