The wealth of dysfunctional families

I doubt that any one of us thinks we come from normal families. Because, our definition of normal, only exists on TV screens and those large perpetual happy families can only be played on the reel, not the real.

Most of us hold the deepest grudge in our hearts against our parents; mother was not motherly enough, father drank too much, parents fought too much, sibling is too self centered or that your folks couldn't afford to buy you that new car and send you to study abroad.
Despite complaining, you look for a woman who is just like your mother and a man who drinks like your father; However,there is a certain wealth that dysfunctional families leave to their children.

The wealth of knowledge of mistakes never to be repeated and of outcomes of unconventional parenting.

Thank your parents for teaching you the most important lessons in life.
