Family Dynamics

              I think everyone can say that they have functional and dysfunctional elements in their families. To start with, no one was made perfect, and this is why we have both elements. I think everyone has that so called "dysfunctional family members", who starts fights, sticks their nose in everyone else’s business, and always have drama in their life. I think this is perfectly normal to have those, I admit, I have not been perfect at times, but we were all made sinners.  We all need to ask for forgiveness when we screw up, and also learn to say sorry when it is needed. I have family members who will have a “blow up” , and go years without taking to each other, then make up but neither of them will admit what they did wrong in the situation, or say sorry. It is sad how we as humans can hold such terrible grudges. We all have our opinions in life, and we are entitled to them, but there is a time and a place when we should speak our opinion. I think that sometimes it is better to just keep your mouth shut.  I also think it’s all in the way you handle all the family dynamics, and how your family gets through the rough patches in life. If you can sit down and talk about a problem, that is good, if you yell, scream, and throw punches, that’s where the problem comes in. We all have family dynamics that we are not proud to be a part of, but in the end you should accept your family for who they are and not judge them. I have many "dysfunctional” family members, and sometimes they can make life interesting, and not to mention, they make me realize what I do not want to live like.
