No perfect families out there. What I have noticed is some imperfect families have 'soft eyes' while others have 'harsh eyes.' Huge difference

I'm sure there are a lot of well-adjusted families....you just don't hear about them, especially at this time of year.

I've never met a perfect family. I used to believe ours was pretty close but eventually it caught up with us and our own family dysfunction began to rear its ugly head. We were able to work through most of it but there are still some issues considered collateral damage.
