Week 8 Journal

I think that most families probably have some functional and dysfunctional qualities to them. I know that my family is, for the most part functional. We do have our areas of dysfunction though. For instance, communication is slightly obscure for my family. We do yell quite a bit, but not always in an angry way. I had to re teach myself to not yell when I got out of my parents house. Other than that, we have a happy and wonderful family.We have our ups and downs as most families do, but we are always there for each other and over all a very happy and loving family. I can honestly say that there probably is no such thing as a "perfect" family. Some people may think that their family is perfect, but that right there could be their dysfunction. I believe that as long as a family is loving, caring, and there for one another, that they are a pretty functional family. All families have different situations that may contribute to their functionality or dis-functionality.
