One needn't stop dysfunction; just evince and reflect.

Perhaps nothing so accurately characterizes dysfunctional families as denial. The denial forces members to keep believing the myths and vital lies in spite of the facts, or to keep expecting that the same behaviors will have different outcomes.
Dad's not an alcoholic because he never drinks in the morning, in spite of the fact that he's drunk every night.

Here's an idea, how about you stop drinking? How about you go to rehab? Or you could just do us all a favor and die.

You don’t want to threaten me sis.

My sister only has one side of the story but she is sure that she knows the whole story because that is how the dysfunctional system works. We don’t question everyone or even consider that there may be another side to the story but instead automatically believe the one who has the most power in the relationship.

We are in the era of dysfunctional relationships.
