do you come from a healthy, loving family?

I come from a loving Italian family with just the right amount of discipline thrown in

I think I did. We all got along with no conflicts.

It wasn’t always the best at all. Really bad times but I am strong because of it and I’ve had a good life overall.

My family is the best 🥰

Yes.
Mom and Dad are dead now, but growing up was happy, healthy and loving.

Both of my parents died of cancer but it was a very loving family.

We are pretty loving ....I'd say yes.

I hope you do, too. *hug*

I never knew my dad, and most of my step-dads were dead beats with alcohol problems and a bit abusive. My mom was and still is amazing though, did her best for me, and I will always appreciate her for that.

yes, i am fortunate

I know my parents tried their best, but I can tell that they always fail. There is always something to argue about, lots of drama.

I think that if it was safe then that's a good start. The loving part may be achieved in intent even if the delivery was less than perfect.

I do not. I think it’s a spectrum though, with some families on the better side and some on the more toxic side.

They were the worst to live with but I wouldn't want anyone else to stand bye me when I need it.

Yes, though maybe not that healthy, both my parents died relatively young.

Mine wasnt but I created my own family and changed that.

No, I don't I do believe it is possible.

Yes my Mom and Dad were Wonderful!

People who come from such families are happier, healthier, and more successful. That's my personal experience. We, as adults try to replicate what we grow up with.. and if we grow up with disfunction we subconsciously try and recreate it, because its what we know best and have even grown most comfortable with. Those who Have good examples of what love and success look like.. those who have guidance and support in healthy ways, just have an edge over the rest of us and excel. It's not absolute and many exemptions and exceptions exist.. I just found this to be a general outline/rule of what I've experienced over the years.. and psychology books mostly agree with this assessment as well.

My mother was loving, my father was pretty much absent even though he was there, alcoholic and gambling addiction..

I don't think I realized how dysfunctional we were until I was old enough to understand what it meant to be dysfunctional...

No. I come from abused and paranoid people who did the best they could, but still messed family up. We were never loving, but we tried.

No..

To varying extents most families have interneal problems.. Some hidden some open.. Very few are free of some kind of trouble..

OMG...

My parents seemed to constantly argue... I have always wondered how they stopped arguing long enough to have 4 children....

It was so bad, that when I look back at my youth ... I believe our family may be solely responsible for the [b]"D" [/b] in [u][b]D[/b][/u]ysfunctional...

Nope, as a kid I was traumatized cause of everything around me, but right now i mean I guess, I am but I’m already an adult so I made my life better.

I don't really talk to anybody in my family besides my mom. I don't have a dad, but I don't go much outta the way to talk to my stepdad, either. Usually he talks to me.

I would have to say no on this one. I am a product of a broken home.

I am very lucky to have come from one. My parents are still together.

maybe in a different life, like the next

Nah, I came from a broken family with a lot of drama.

Its not a myth but mine wasn't 100% nice

When I was little It took me no time to recognize the differences between my home and other homes.

A good loving and healthy family is not a myth. That does not mean there are not issues inside every family. A normal family has some issues.

But my family was abusive and not healthy at all.

Most of my time was spent at my friends homes so that I could feel safer.

I believe that this is what helped me understand that my life was not normal. Or good. I am glad I had safe spaces and that my friends families were willing to have me as their bonus kid.

I grew up with a good family.

In my family it’s a myth

Issa myth

Myth

Nope

No.

I come from a broken family but we still have each other.

Lol!! Pure myth in my case

Yes, I was fortunate.
