Boyd, George A. "When you grow up in a dysfunctional family." (1992) Sep. 20 2008. www.mudrashram.com
When you grow up in a dysfunctional family, you experience trauma and pain from your parents actions, words, and attitudes.
It has led some to lead to flee the pain by drug or alcohal use
It can make others feel inner anxiety or rage and don't know why
A dysfunctional family is when the relationship between the parents and children are strained and unnatural.
DIRECT QUOTE:
"Sharon Wegscheider notes that the longer a person plays a role, the more rigidly fixed he or she becomes in it. Eventually, family members become addicted to their roles, seeing them as essential to their survival and playing them with the same compulsion, delusion and denial as the Dependent plays his [or her] role as drinker."
