5 Types of Dysfunctional Family Dynamics

[@Psych2go]

Even if your family is dysfunctional, you are important family to the Psych2Go community

[@Davi-sc5wn]

Psych2Go why don't you guys create a another place where people can share their experiences and support each other? (i think it's a good idea since you guys want to create a supportive community..) like a discord server....

I realized my family is one of these, after two hospitalizations in psychiatric clinic. I used to love them, doing almost everything they needed from me, and all I got is heavy depression, sociophobia, extreme anxiety, and getting rejected by everyone. God, sometimes I want to knife my psychopathic mother, who doesn’t even want treatment for herself, constantly lying me in a face that she “loves” me.

[@greensoldier3047]

[@Aruna_Shadows]

My earliest memory is that of my parents loudly arguing in the living room, while my 4-year-old self stands in the doorframe and watches without saying a word.....! My parents arguing literally every day, my mother hitting me when I made her too angry, my father never or only rarely doing anything around the house......! For the first few years of my life, I thought this was a common thing in every family. But as I grew older, I was able to understand certain things better. Like when seeing the families on TV, I noticed how much more peaceful and loving they were compared to my family........! By the time I was about 9 years old, I knew my family wasn't normal. And at such a young age, I actually WANTED my parents to finally split up! Because although I was never the sharpest tool in the shed, I knew that my parents could never make peace with each other! And I knew that my father was the problem. He never did anything for us! Mostly, he would just sleep all day and play computer games or watch TV all night! I never understood why my mother hadn't just left him already, but I hoped the day would come, where she would! And when I was 11, it finally happened! My mother moved to another city with me and my younger sister! My dad is still a problem, but at least now we don't have to put up with him 24/7! I'm 16 now and my family is still pretty screwed up, but now It's at least a little better than before!

[@ademi457]

@@Aruna_Shadows I’m so sorry... I thought my family had issues but in reality it’s not comparable to other people. I hope you’re family becomes better and you have my sympathy

[@flipChoco2283]

Watching this made me realise I have an emotionally distant family. I have so much trouble expressing myself, especially to my parents. I find it hard to tell them certain things, like I think I have social anxiety, but I don't have any courage to tell them that. I have low self esteem on how I look and of my academic skills, and I find it so hard to make new friends and hold conversations. I'd rather stay alone and quiet in my room all day. We never do anything as a family anymore. We dont even eat together at the table. I think because of this, i have anxiety when i eat in public or at tables with other people. My mum has always been very distant from me. We never hug, we never hold conversations, i never talk to her about anything, and she always got on my nerves throughout my childhood. She acts like a child. She was always right apparently. My mum doesn't care about what I do. There is no relationship. I still need to love her though, she is my mum after all Sorry this comment is a mess i dont know how to express and articulate my thoughts.

Me: 1, 2, 3, 4.... I had a very unusual life, I'm the oldest of 7, both parents did drugs, DCFS never took us away because parents knew how to work the system, sold food stamps for drugs, we were homeless alot, I took care of the younger kids all the time and worked jobs starting at 8 (paper route, then corn detasseling until I was of legal age to work)... All the while, I was on honor roll and getting straight A's. My mom wanted me to drop out in high school to take care of my siblings even more, I refused so she abandoned me. I was homeless on my own, going to high school, working a job, living in a car Anyways, fast forward to today and I'm half way through my masters degree. I'm in my mid-20's I want to help other children who face what I faced EDIT: I want to share as well that if you struggling, you aren't alone...

[@foxsmith770]

My family is partly all 5, my father is insecure, cowardly, arrogant, selfish, passive, aloof, unintelligent, uneducated, mediocre, and alcoholic. My mother is bipolar, controlling, manipulative, overprotective, over-nurturing, submissive toward my father, often depressed, and overly emotional. This is possibly the worst combination to raise a boy. My two older sisters are exactly the same as each of my parents. They are each the polar opposite of each other which causes constant arguing and tension. I've been to seven different schools in less than nine years because of my father's stupid choices. I became isolated, depressed, and eventually developed social anxiety. I repressed all my feelings all these years and now it's eating me alive. The worst part is that they think my mental problems aren't justified, that as long as I was physically healthy I have nothing to complain about. They don't understand how their actions effected us and still won't acknowledge that they were wrong. My family is toxic and I need to get away from them in order to rebuild my life.

[@Dice-Z]

That sounds exactly like what i went through,. Eerily so. Up to every single detail. From being a toddler to a teenager, i'm still feeling the afteraffects in my twenties. Not to mention that constantly being the new kid increases your chances of getting bullied, making your only escape from your family also hell. It's a complete disaster, it has left me an empty shell and i don't see myself anywhere close to getting out of my depression as it even deteriorated my physical health, but good luck to yours, i feel you.

I can totally sympathize. Very similar experiences. I was never praised, only criticized. Never shown any affection, only yelling and screaming at everything I didn't do...like that one small unnoticeable thing on my enormous chore list. It's just an awful lot in life, and I wish I could understand how this will help me become a better person on the other side. One good thing though, is that now that I have my little children I don't ever take them for granted and always hug them, kiss them and praise them. I basically do exactly the opposite of what we went through and it seems to be doing great. Ah yes, I seriously just hate my mom. It's awful to even say it, but it's the truth. I'm sorry your dealing with this heartache!

( my mom makes sure everyone thinks that ). my mom says she loves me with all her heart but i don’t believe her. she doesn’t treat me like it. and my mom does stuff for me but i can never confide to my mom and talk about how i feel. my step dad doesn’t care about this situation. he only cares about how to pay the bills and keep a roof over our head and food to eat. i respect that. but he still took my dad away from me. anyway my family doesn’t like me but i love them. i think they love me but don’t like me? idk. this was supposed to be a short comment but idk man, this is the first time i’ve really talked about how i feel in such a long time.

I don't talk to my brother, my dad never wanted to know about me and was psychologically abusive, and my mum is very selfish, manipulative and just didn't give a shit. I'm still in contact with my ma but I still blame her for never taking responsibility as a parent, as well as how she let my dad treat me (as well as how she never wanted to get involved with arguments between me and my brother or help any situations). Even to this day I'm more of a mother to her than she ever was to me. When I was younger I was always suicidal. My brother was very controlling and always tried to get me in trouble for no reason. My dad always used to break my confidence with everything and anything. I honestly hated family life. There were always arguments. I'm so happy I don't live with them and know I have the option of cutting my mum off at anytime since she's still very toxic.

She does provide us with the our needs except one important one: love. Long story short, she's not a very loving person. It also doesn't help that my dad does all he can to make sure she doesn't leave him. The majority of my family members are bad people too. The ones I get along with are my siblings.

I grew up in a household where my parents both argue almost everyday, imagine what it did to us children for many years. My dad would scold us a lot, just to relieve his stress from other things. When i had small fights with my siblings when we were younger, my father would always sode with my other siblings, and wanted me to take the long road always as i am the older child, and must bear all my younger siblings wrongs and must not be mad at them. The thing that what i hate the most is that my father talks about things like forgiving, doing good deeds to other people, love your family and etc. But he rarely does that.. sad to say that he likes(or rather loves) to give advice to people about their problems, but he doesnt really do it in his life. Most of the time he talks bad things about people behind their back, one of the sad things is that he lets my mom, me and my younger siblings hear him, he want to relieve his anger, but doesnt know what other might feel when he does that. I feel very irritated hearing his rants about other people when he doesnt even hear what his children and his wife feel. I think that he is self centered, narcissistic, plastic, hard headed, and bossy. My grandmother told me stories when where he was still young, he never really got on his fathers good side, he didnt get along well with his brothers and sisters, he didnt finish college(and highschool if i remember correctly), and ran away from home at a young age.. He didnt really had the best childhood either, and it makes me sad that he wants me to feel that way also, going back in my memories of when i was still a child, most of what i remember are bad experiences, mostly the times where he hits on us, curse us, and belittle us because we didnt exceed or pass his expectations. The same memories goes with my memories with my mother, but i thanked god that she didnt do so much as what my father did to use. She loves my father very much, i can say that i feel that she loves my father a bit more than her children. Its sad to say that most of the time when my father is overabusings me and my siblings psychologically, emotionally, and physically, she only watches and most of the time doesnt help us. I feel that she is also scared of my father, so she sides with him because she knows that my father will only be mad at her if she did not take his side too. The sad thing is that i feel that she inly does that is because deep down she doesnt want my father to leave her, do that our family will still be intact. She bears and accepts my fathers flaws and imperfections, but sad to say my father doesnt feel the same way for my mother. Its so sad that until this day i still have a scar, because of what my father did, he still continues to do more damage and scars on me, its kind of sad that he doesnt show remorse or guilt of what hes done. Im sure he knows it but he prides himself not to open up and has the guts to say "sorry" sincerely i guess. He says "sorry", but i dont feel any sincerity at all. In the past years ive known my father, i already memorized his patterns, i know when he feels irritated (so i get out of his way), and i know when he really feels sincerely sorry for what he did bad. Its just sad that he doesnt even feel that when he knows that i have depression right now.

[@somebodynobody1047]

Welp, looks like I have the dominant-submissive household. When I was younger, I thought that having a really mean parent that you can't talk to without being yelled at was normal. After a while, I realized that many kids had parents that were super nice and supportive. And this video helped me understand why I feel this way about my family, so thank you. I've always hated coming back home from school since school was kinda the place where I could finally escape from all of the things I have to deal with at home. But now I have to stay at home everyday 24/7 because of quarantine, and I just really hate it. I'm to the point where trying to fix my family is meaningless to me. Because I really just don't want anything to do with them. So talking to my school counselor about it wouldn't really help me that much, so it's pretty much just hopeless. I really wish that I could just be put up for adoption so that I could get away from them. Does anyone else feel this way? Please reply because I want to know. Okay, thank you for taking time to read this. You're beautiful and you deserve love! :)

I lived in the same kind of family but with a little dash of all of the rest of these types of families. My dad was a drunk and usually passed out on the couch. I remember that when he would start to wake up or start talking in his coma I would get scared and do my best to get away as fast as I could otherwise I would end up in an argument that I had no idea what it was about and I usually would end up being screamed at for some reason. I could tell lots of stories as I'm sure everyone here can. I don't really have any friends anymore because I just don't have the energy to be bothered anymore. I had one long term common law relationship for about 8 years but that was almost 25 years ago. I don't know how to handle friendships or girlfriends so I don't bother.

Newt sein Niffler Mine is also 100% number 5. With no communication. Because of the lack communication and stuff my mum 'doesnt really wanna talk about', my parents are divorcing. But since we had no bondigs what so ever, through lack of communication, I feel like it really doesn't bodder me all that much. I deal with my problems on my own. I chose my highschool (although i probably messed up that choice, but at least I can say that I made that decision so yeah, I will deal with it as well), I have dealt with huge lows of in life on my own, which i cant really call depression, but I was suicidal, it was temporary... ANYWAYS There are pros, for me at least, to this sorow situation as well: I dont need anybody, i am independent, i can see when I am wrong and I take responsibility. And I think I will never have kids or be in a relationship (luckly i am an introvert) because 50% of all marriages fail. I am not taking those chances. I dont want my kids to go through this same thing. We will see. I can never know, but i think theres a high possibility of me being single for the rest of my life. But yeah, what it feels like to me, doesnt have to be the same for you. I cant even imagine how different we are. I hope you cant take any advice from this, because you really shouldnt. I dont wanna give you bad advice. What works for me, isnt necessarly going to work for you. I think we all gotta work it out on our own. THANK GOD I AM AN INTROVERT THO. HURRAY! Allone 4ever.

And I didn't know that the Chance for a Marriage to break is 50%, that's really sad. :( I also don't want to have kids or marry a man/girl, so I think we are not that different :D I know this Sound strange, maybe because I am a totally Stranger to you but I really hope with the tear of my heart that you find a Partner in your life. I mean being alone is sometimes really great but I don't hope for you being alone for the Rest of your life, even though you are a introvert. For me you represent a wonderful and nice Person that's very strong, have a lovely day/live! 😊

[@coze7669]

Newt sein Niffler Thank You very much for Your kind words and wishes! I have read that in the US the chance for a divorce is from 40 to 50 percent. In other places its even higher, sadly. Like in Spain, Portugal, Luxembourg, the Czech Republic, and Hungary, they are even worse off with divorce rates higher than 60%. Belgium has the highest rate of divorce, I think. With like 70%. But on the bright side, there are contries with extremly low divorce rates, like Montenegro 15%, Serbia 25%, Croatia 30% and so on. It really depends where you live. About the relationship part, if I happen to stumble up on somebody thats really amaizing, I might consider spending the rest of my life with them. But I dont really meet that many people so i dont know. By the way, I would like to ask you, if you dont mind of course, are you bisexual? I concluded that based on you saying 'man/girl'. I hope you are not offended by that question. Anyway, if you are bi, do you have trouble with your family with that? Cause that would definitely suck :/ Have a great day too!

[@SopranoGamer2804]

I’m hesitant to post this because I don’t know which ones really describe my situation, so I guess I’ll just say it and see. Before my parents divorced in 2009, my mom had really bad depression and my dad took care of me and the house while working. They argued a lot, but not when I was in the room. After they divorced, me and my mom struggled with homelessness for a few years. She didn’t go out with her friends and she didn’t take me out anywhere either. When we did get a car, she would (out of the kindness of her heart) pick up people and drive them places. After she died, I’m talking the day after I buried her, my dad got the idea from my mom’s brother and sister-in-law, step-father, and his own bright brain of his to take me from the home I knew was going to be my home. For a week, I was yelled and cussed at, ignored by the man who brought me to his house, and tried to be talked out of living with my aunt by my grandmother and aunt. Finally, I was able to be back with my aunt, but it went downhill from there. She expected me to clean the whole house while she sat on her ass and did nothing. I flat-out refused because I didn’t know how to do anything. My mom had never taught me how to clean a house before. When we moved to where we are now, it threw my aunt’s son in the mix and her daughter and two grandchildren are staying with us right now. My Uncle (as I call my aunt’s son) works 5 days a week, 11am-8pm. She will sit on her ass all day or stay in bed all day and expect all of us to keep the house spotless. I get it, she has ptsd, depression, multiple personality disorder, and something else. She doesn’t acknowledge the fact that I have ptsd, panic and anxiety disorder, severe clinical depression, and the fact that I might have dissociative identity disorder or even add! She refuses to say, “okay, you have these mental illnesses. Your meds can help you, but you need to cope yourself. Here’s how I’ve done it.”. Never! On top of that, when she does get out of bed, she tells her son that none of us have done anything in the house when we have! I’ve spent two hours after an argument where my uncle raised his voice to yelling crying in my bedroom and wanting to die as I could see and hear my dad yelling and cussing at me the first night I was at his house. Neither of them care if I’m depressed or my anxiety is through the roof! I asked, as calm as I could be through tears, if I could go calm down before I had an anxiety attack, and I was refused! The only time I managed to get away, they started yelling at me! My aunt’s daughter tried her best to defend us, especially me. The argument started because, according to my aunt, “Everyone was making jokes about what she was trying to say and ignored her”. I tried to say that I was just making a drink for myself, and my uncle and Aunt both say that I was in on it too! I’m not able to take much more of this, so when my aunt’s daughter (who I also call my aunt) moves out, I’m going with them. Through it all, she’s seen what they do to me. That day, I spent hours trying to calm down my anxiety and suicidal thoughts because of that one argument. I’m forced to stand and obey when all I want to do is speak out about how my aunt doesn’t do anything in the house, so she can’t act like she does! She’s even threatened to hit me on more than one occasion! I’m 18, so I can’t do anything about it, but I’d like to see her hit me. I’d be out of the house in a heartbeat and I wouldn’t go back after getting my shit. Also, sorry for the swearing, I get heated talking about my home life. I don’t know if my current situation would be considered abusive or not, but it feels emotionally, mentally, and verbally abusive to me. I don’t know, I just wanna get out of here. College and a new house couldn’t be here faster.

I wish your videos had Chinese subtitles :( I struggle to explain how my parents behavior is toxic and how it shaped our lives. My dad is a pretty difficult person and he is emotionally distant. My mom on the other hand is too emotional, overprotective and controlling. She always put us down (especially my younger sister) and compared us to other children. I confronted her many times about this and she says it is the Chinese culture, she refuses to listen to me because it is not my place to teach her this stuff. Yes I believe and know they love us but they don't see how the dynamics between them affected us - they fight a lot about useless shit. My mom used to threaten with divorce at every argument and she doesn't realize the stress she put us in. As the oldest child I always had and have to take care of our family, at 10 years old I was already thinking ahead about the situation if they actually divorced (who would be living where and with who etc). I feel I never had the chance to have an actual childhood since I was tasked with so many responsibilities at a young age. Now I am dealing with depression and anxiety for almost 5 years but the most heartbreaking experience was finding out my younger sister was suffering all this time and did self harm and I never noticed it. Luckily we grew closer after talking about it but sometimes I feel like a parent to my younger siblings AND my own parents

My family is on and of pathological. Mainly dealing with problems of drug abuse and gambling. Most of the time is somewhat like Emotionally distant. I’m going to be very honest here. My family doesn’t understand emotional support very well. Plus due to bad reactions from my father early on in my childhood I eventually conditioned myself to almost never cry, talk about my problems and never go to my family for help when it came to my mental health. Thankfully my father has been trying to be more and more understanding about my mental health and he’s been dealing with his own addiction issue. So thankfully it’s getting better.

It raises mental health awareness (and other stuff), it educates people about physiology, and it can act like a therapist for people who are too afraid to look for therapy (I know this channel shouldn't be a persons main source of therapy but it can be a large step in doing so and make an individual more confident to go get help)

One of my sisters who stayed with my mom acted just like you. She did dishes, paid bills, changed baby diapers before she went to school in the morning. As she's older she's the perpetual caretaker. She still takes care of my mom it's like she thinks my mother is mentally deficient. I respect my mother enough to actually get angry and confront her. You should risk confronting your mom or if that's a bad idea then please ask for help from a real adult. I don't know who I'd be without my grandparents. In your case it could be a teacher or neighbor but please ask for help. You deserve help.

I grew up in a bad environment. Always in the ghetto with 5 other siblings and we all had different dads. Growing up was mostly my mom looking for love and letting her boyfriends or husbands treat us like garbage. I could never come to my mother about anything with out being made out to be whiney. I shut myself off for most of my child hood. I developed depression and low self-esteem. By time I started high school I was completely silent and closed off from people. I almost committed suicide twice. I dated people that where plain losers because I felt like no good person would love me. Eventually I did meet someone who helped me turn my life around. He was the only person I could tell everything too and I felt better about myself then I ever have. But, I still deal with my depression and have dreams of being trapped in my childhood home again. I hope one day I can be over depression and anxiety. And I can live like a normal calm person who goes with the flow.

Hello! Can you make video about cultural psychology? Using the definitions in the video, in some non-Western culture such as Chinese culture, dysfunctional families are extremely common, to the extent that many people within the culture don't find them problematic. Yet that does not mean children are not harmed by them (some forms of child abuse are social norms in China). So how does negative experience affect people with different cultural backgrounds? Does it impact people differently?

[@rainwitchansy]

Catherine Ma Thanks so much for requesting this. I grew up with a strong Korean culture, which family dysfunction is also common and socially acceptable. I can’t speak for everyone of course, but though I’m the only one willing to call the abuse out for what it was/is, I can tell it very deeply affected the rest of the family. They just explain it away, deny it, blame it on “outsiders”, or just tell themselves it’s normal. Needless to say, I’m pretty distant from my Korean heritage.

[@ryomaashikaga8798]

Wouldn't that run into the problem of that information being racist? Like I've seen enough hate towards the western cultures that I won't be surprised if not a lot of researchers want to be mobbed by SJW people for thinking wrong or even thinking that people of color is perfect and nothing needs to change about them. Man, my negative outlook is pretty bad.. 0-0

[@rainwitchansy]

Ryoma Ashikaga I can see how that could happen; it’s realistic to think about, however negative. I’d argue that here we are talking about cultural problems within the family. It’s not an attack on the family; it’s pointing out the flaws and very serious issues that can arise from family culture. Bringing more awareness to these issues presents the potential of it being prevented in future families, potentially making the world a better place. ❤️ All cultures, no matter where it’s from, can use improvement. If people want to cry racism on bringing awareness to toxic patterns within a culture that happens to come from another part of the world, then they are (if unwittingly) perpetuating the problem by joining those voices within that culture gaslighting and blaming victims like me and others who have suffered under that abuse. Simple as that.

My dad is addicted to alcohol so my mom and dad fight very often. I don't feel safe around my father. Hearing his footsteps, feeling his presence, I just feel scared. He doesn't even care about us if we ate or not, etc. And now I'm stuck in quarantine with him and my family. I'm just 11 and I wish I could get out from the house

[@gummywurm]

I'm always the scapegoat of the family and my dad always makes me feel like I'm not good enough for him and yells at me I tell him I will try to change but he started makes me feel like I'm not good enough my step family are often loved more than me and my sis it's really hard to deal with but thankfully my mom is so much better of a person and actually cares about our feelings

Omg this happened to me to. My mom picks fights with me and my sister for literally no reason, and punishes us severely and unfairly for things that shouldn't be punishable anyways.

[@aneggselentfellow5607]

I relate with the emotionally distant family. Our father was Verbally and sometimes physically abusive. I love my family and would take a bullet for them but at the same time I don't really feel like I'm attached as I should be. Being through a lot is probably why but whenever I try to seek emotional validation that rarely comes. My Mom is a nice lady so idk how else to feel about it.

[@ray0co486]

My family is Chronic conflict. I have 14 now and all my life i thought that kicking, spank with hooks, bell, chairs, throw hard things, call me stupid, useless to me and my brothers were the normal things that a family do with their childrens. and it hurts a lot When my mom do all of these, it hurted like hell and I was always crying but now I fell nothing I thought that if I throw up my feelings and practice to not to fell pain, It would hurt less and it works. Know what? All my friends, think that I live in a perfect family because I'm always with a smile in my school and laughing at everything but it's hard to keep the mask. I dont want my family please

[@cassiebrown9786]

I can relate to many of the previous comments. I survived a dysfunctional family. It was beyond horrendous. No hugs or love at all. Both abusive parents are gone, but I don't feel the loss. In my mind its....Oh Well. I just don't feel much about them being gone. I recently learned about the "roles" in the family through therapy. I'm the lost child. My narcissist sister is the mom. My younger brother is the comic/clown, and older brother is still the scrape goat. We have really never connected. We will never be a family. I'm not sure I will miss my siblings when they're gone, that is if they go before me. Kinda sad but that's how it is.

[@lilliankeller2534]

The saddest part is, is that all of these scenarios can apply to one family all at once...

[@tommychappell6359]

Conflict of interest/change is tearing me apart inside. (more ways than one). Things are fragile and when change them. cause ripple effect to everyone. especially I who needs support. Now where I feel FEARFUL to say anything. cause of fear of what may cause. cause everything is being passed on/monitored/''censored'' by Smarty Pants (older brother of the ''chair''). Ive been in vulnerable spot for ages and should have known better than to pull it apart. I feel like now I can no longer breathe or be me. cause everything is set up in a way where they are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT and I wrong. and If I have something to say about it then I who gets affected. acid reflux/splashback in return. I thought function/purpose of family was supposed to be best interest of individuals in family. apparently I son have LEAST priority. Fucking hate this family.. all my gutssssss. feel backstabbed/betrayed absolutely. literally bloodhounds the lot of them, I now must live in FEAR toxic atmosphere. where can't even such breathe/say a word. cause know it will swing back into my FACE. like a KICK-boot on rollercoaster doing loop, where it SWINGS BACK ON LOOP into my face). but where I must now admit to having such thoughts in first place (also causing me detriment). I can't tell my parent cause act in itself would be conflict of itnerest (where be like why do you care/what are you hiding?), its meanest bullying thing in history. (but they wouldn't care cause their IMMUNE with POWER and blood). I can't BREATHE no LONGER. or be myself.

[@ambergardener9114]

I grew up thinking my family is the most normal family ever, took me the longest time ever to realize how dysfunctional my family really is, after comparing my family with my friends'. Even after I figured out something is wrong, I blamed it on the fact that I have ADHD, causing me to react differently. The last year was especially hard, my grades dropped at school and I sank into severe anxiety. No matter how hard I try it's so hard to open up to people who try to help at school. My family fits 1,3 and 5 and somewhat into 4 as well.

[@insub0rdinationaj249]

1 and 5, a little bit of 3 for mine. I suffer everything alone and am pretty much ignored unless it's another abusive argument or banning me from learning life skills on my own. Mom's excuse is "*i'M n0T A HeLIc0pt3r PaRenT*" , which she is. I'm not free to do things on my own without her giving in and offering help,which I reject, but she forces ride commentary and distrust on me. It's a vicious cycle. We don't trust each other. She's doesn't understand me. I don't understand her or her abuse. It has made our house then into an abuse torture chamber. Also, my dad died a long time ago and that was the breaking point for our family's destruction pretty much. Thanks for the video. I love knowing I'm not alone in constant battle with sudden abuse and communication problems.

[@heromi9943]

definitely 4, my dad is an alcoholic and when he doesnt have alcohol in his system hes disrespectful to my mom, my siblings and i making my mom be mad at us for no reason, but for some reason i still continue to love and care for him the most

[@weshawnj7396]

I really dont know what category mines fall into. My dad was an abusive alcoholic in the past and all my parents argued about was money and how my dad was always out. They had many fights and i’ve witnessed it all. My mom has always been controlling and almost everything has to go her way or you’re thrown to the road. she used to be really religious and stricter but things changed last year when there was a big fight between my brother and my dad. :/ that resulted in my brother leaving and my dad emotionally abused us for a week before he suddenly changed and he stopped drinking alcohol. but the roles switched and my mom started being alcoholic, blaming my dad for everything even tho he has changed, going to the club every other night, smoking weed and forcing my dad to give her money. she also yells at me whenever i ask her something that i need that is money related. this affected me a lot in school. money problems, depression , self harming , low self esteem and a upcoming divorce between my parents. just recently my mom has slowed down a lot and is trying to get better but its too late for my mental health 😂.

[@weshawnj7396]

let’s also add that a few months ago electricity/ lights were turned off and i had to stay with my auntie for 2 weeks with my annoying bragging cousin. i was also in a relationship with a cocky boy who was self centered and didn’t give a fuck about my feelings and talked with my ex friends about me behind my back. but i believed i loved him and stuck by it all, until it ended. he was the cause of me starting self harm again and now it’s a problem. currently we’ve had no water for a week and im sitting here contemplating a lot of suicidal things.

[@RoosterBruh]

I used to see my dad, when he would come in off of the road (working. He worked very hard and did his best to provide for us) drink, profusely. Then, he got hurt, and started to use pain pills to cope with his physical and mental pain. I knew that was wrong. The anger, the rage, the things he’d sometimes say, or do; and then have no memory of saying or doing because he was so high. So, in my mind; I would just smoke weed. Because when I’m on weed, I’m not screaming, I’m not angry, I’m just numb and quiet. I did not realize I was effectively building a timebomb inside of my chest. The fact that I haven’t had a heart attack yet, is only a matter of God’s grace. I know that is how I will die. That’s how my grandpa died. My hope is just to make things a little better for the people who come after me. So long as I don’t continue the cycle, if I do nothing else with my life, I will consider myself a success.

[@boeman6702]

I went here to look for a title that fits my family. Guess I was wrong. Im not sure if its dysfunctional or Im just overreactiong(probably the latter) but Ill explain the situation. Basically my family is fine. Its okay on the outside, my friends look up to my mom as being the cool person and they look to my dad as being the generous and kind dad. But when things gets tense, it all goes to the gutter. *Note: Its alot of reading, If you dont like it, Ill provide a summary at the end* Basically, my parents have no sense of space. No matter how many times I explain to them that I want to just have some time alone, they force themselves into my space. No matter what I say, whether it be truth or a blatant lie, they just force themselves in my personal space. They keep on pushing the boundaries. When I promised a friend that I wont tell anyone about their problems, my mom overheard me and tried to force me to say it. I said no and that I made a promise. She got mad and said "I'm your mom. You dont trust me?" Then she sulked and ignored me from the groceries to home. They want to know every secret about me. I know its not bad but when you just dont want to talk about it, they force me to talk about it. They get mad when I dont. Some things I better not say like for example my _"measurements"_. They want to know and if I dont tell them they scowl and get all gloomy and sad. When I tell them firmly to stop after alot of pestering from them they say "Hey! You don't have to say it that way! We are your family! You should never hide any secrets from us." then they scowl and act really dejected. It's really ticking me off and no matter how many times I explain it to them, its like they never heard me say anything. They say "okay, okay." However, the next day I am greeted with the exact same thing. When my mom gets mad, she becomes the Tiger Asian Mom. We all know that kind of mom, but she takes it to the next level. She begins shouting to the tops of her lungs, screaming at us that "You dont care about me! You are so selfish! You never thank me for anything! I AM NOT loved in THIS house!!!" I mean I get it, I screwed up so bad. I lied about doing my chores I get it. Im the one at fault. But then she says "This is why I DONT WANT to come back home from work!!! Its because NO ONE APPRECIATES MY PRESENCE!!! Hell, I even wonder when you say 'Love you mom!' I DOUBT you are saying from your heart! YOURE just saying it as lies when you WANT something!" That statement hurts me more than anything. Lets get some backstory of me. Im a 14 year old guy who got diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder since May this year. Even before that, I find it VERY VERY difficult to express any emotion strongly and meaningfully to someone. Like I severely doubt my desperateness and my truthfulness is reaching anyone. I find it hard to express my love for someone or something. That's why I dont do chores as much but I dont use depression as an excuse. So when I finally express my love for my parents and she brushes it off as if its nothing I feel so hurt. Because all that effort to just finally make someone notice my feelings is so tiring and its too much for me. But thats not all. When someone is criticizing me or tell me I did something wrong, I always make a blank face. Just a black face staring into the person who is talking to me. My mom shouted at me and said "HEY! Why are you angry, huh? You DONT HAVE the RIGHT to be angry? Is all this a joke to you? Oh, I see. You're sleepy. So all my words are meaningless to you. Oh, dont mind me, Im just talking to the wall behind you." It hurts because I dont know what face to put on! Should I smile? Look sad? Feel scared? I dont know! When someone shouts at me and tells me my wrongs, I list them down in a mental note and discuss it with my inner monologue while listening to the person, so I dont have the time for emotions. But everyone thinks Im mad and it just makes the situation worse cause honestly, I dont know what to do. All this and Ive learned to supress feelings and opinions. My mom always gets mad at me for not "explaining my side" or "not saying anything". Anytime I did that as a kid, she always shouts at me and says "Oh! Youre always right thats why. Whatever I say or do, I am ALWAYS WRONG and you are ALWAYS RIGHT!!!" She still says it to me today. So I learned to keep my mouth shut and never explain because in the end, the one who gets hurt is my mom, not me who deserves it. Ive been reppressing alot of feelings and thoughts and emotions because I always feel that all that is invalueable to the situation because of what my parents always told me when i said my side of the story. And my dad... Well.... He always gets mad at me. No matter how many times I explain, my monotonous voice, to him means "He is mad." My monotonous voice is a result of repressed emotions and opinions and socially, Its not going so well. And as with other Asian cliches, my parents rarely admit they were wrong. No matter how much pain their words cause, even when they are dead wrong, they dont say they are wrong. My dad calls me an idiot in Japanese, he laughs it off. My mom said something wrong and I corrected her, she says "Oh. sorry." in a very sarcastic voice that sounds alot like "You lil shit." Basically: Parents look good outside Parents dont know personal boundaries Mom goes into rampage and ignores all my feelings Im depressed and find it hard to express feelings I dont know how to voice my feelings Im not heard by my parents My parents never admit they are wrong Can someone please reply? I dont know if this is normal for households or abnormal

[@user-pm9gb5oz6l]

Boe Man For me, coming from an Asian family, I can strongly relate to this. My mother is the villain here too. However, it's more along the lines of her belittling my father and pushing him around than the children. My family situation is a mix of 3, 4, and 5. And to answer your question...it is not normal. But common.

[@LittleLulubee]

Sorry, I don't have time to read the whole thing. But based on the summary, you have an abusive, dysfunctional family. They're not treating you well. I hope you can find some help outside of the family.

[@faith2686]

Your family is dysfunctional and it is making a lot of things in your life worse. If your parents loved you they would try to understand. Also, if you are over 16 or so they should give you some space and began treating you more and more like an adult.

[@gregzeng]

> "They want to know every secret about me. > "I know its not bad but when you just dont want to talk about it, they force me to talk about it. > "They get mad when I dont. Ten+ others here have agreed with you; they have similarly NARCISSISTIC parents (NP). NP is not the personality disorder "NPD". NPD can only be labelled by a professionally on-duty psychologist. NPD-type of behaviour is very, very common. Particular when any of us are being personally stressed, parent or not. By standards of last century, the people called "parents" are untrained, unskilled, unqualified and poorly resourced. If you are legally dependent on these incompetent practitioners in our caring industries, there is very little that any professionally trained person can do. At the moment. Seems that right now you are trapped by incompetent legal carers. Do what I had to do: button up (stay silent & hidden) until you can legally & financially leave your home. Then concentrate of rescuing your damaged personality from such a traumatic childhood. Your mother knows that she is incompetent, as did my father. These incompetent parents are asking the impossible: that the carees (children) teach the carer how to do their caring job. Recognise your limits. It is the job of professional teachers like myself to teach carers (parents here) on how to be more competent. Until you are professionally qualified, do not attempt to do these professional jobs. When you do become professional, you will "professionalism". Professionalism means outsourcing your home problems. The professional does not "heal thyself".

My family probably somewhere between chronic conflict and emotionally dysfunctional relationship

[@beansockz9756]

My family shows elements of all? My step dads an addict to drugs which are medically given to him and he also is addicted to illegal drugs. My ma's the one in control, and when things don't go her way, she guilt trips everyone. She thinks she knows the family but when it comes down to things such as me being transgender, she hardly understands that at all. She ways really emotionally abusive stuff without realising that its abusive. She has the most control over me, because she has the power to send me back to areas of my life that were traumatic for me. We have no system. That really fucks with my autism and OCD- but nobody seems to care and I've just learnt to ignore the urge to do things like binge clean. There's been so many elements that have made me feel unsafe at "home". I've ran away more times than I can count. I know we're dysfunctional. The foundations were broken way before my sister was born. My step dad emotionally abuses us all. But we cant leave him because we don't have the money. They're just two exes who hate each other who have been forced to live together. He's also got his family against us. He makes my gran hate ma bc she wont clean and stuff like that. But he's making his family hate me because he won't invite me to events such as birthday parties so it makes it seem like I don't give a shit that he's the only technical dad figure I've had (his family also hate me bc I'm trans and gay but lmao I guess) Its just annoying? There's a constant bad air to my "home" and you just always expect an argument. I just cant wait to be old enough to move out. I cant deal with pretending that we function as a family, becoming a circus act whenever people are around.

[@squishh7805]

I’m more of the Emotionally distant side, while my siblings are more of the Choatic household side. My brother and sister bully me consistently and do not understand that it really hurts me. They laugh at my tears and so I’ve been taught over time to repress the emotions and only show my good and goofy side. Two or more years of struggling with hidden depression has thrown me into being a people pleaser, who is almost always stressed and depressed and forgets everything because I’m consistently tired. I’m taking therapy but I still refuse to tell my family on how I’m feeling. Self harm thoughts have just started to creep into the bunch. A few teachers of mine are worried about my mental health because I’ve had multiple mental breakdowns in school. I’ll be (hopefully)making videos talking more in depth about these thoughts.

My mom EVERYTIME we go to the store, she will waste her money on tickets. Im the one who has to but my mom out of her habits, like eating unhealthy and not buying lottery tickets. They also dont pay attention to what my troubles are. It comea to a point that i dont trust my parents with my problems. My mom trys and i love her but i have to consistently put out her bad habits. My main problem is with my dad who is to stubborn and argues with us. He comdtanly argues and never accepts his mistakes. Even for the smallest things like misplacing something. Another problem is that my parents dont belive in mental health disorders. This is why im afraid to tell my parents my stuggles. I also had food disorders and my parents didnt even notice.

My mom has constantly shamed me for being shy and has repeatedly called me a mute or retarded. And my dad will get really angry over anything is mess up on. I feel scared when he yells at me. I mean theres more in my extended family but that doesnt really matter. Idk exactly what to identify my family as? Can i have a little help?

[@sleepycatto1317]

My family is like that too. They don't argue a lot because my dad represses his emotions in front of my mom. My brother is rather uncaring and bossy with everyone, always pushing me away to focus on his games and videos.

The number 3 and 5. My parents are barely home. We dont eat together. My dad comes home for a couple of days once a month for his military duties and my mom works overtime and comes home almost midnight. Aside from that, we dont hug, comfort each other or talk except for some random things about tv shows, games or office gossips. I only remember being hugged once when I attempted suicide but my mom has latched unto that fact ever since. Whenever I have a hard time and complains she doesnt talk comforting words or ask me about my day instead she'll assume that Im thinking of suicides again and get angry with me even though when I'm just having a bad day and not bad thoughts..

I’ve only just realized how bad my family dynamic is. My dads a borderline narcissist, pathological liar, drug addict, amd has major anger issues. Everything has to go right or we’ll all have hell to pay. For example going to the store amd “forgetting” something he never told us to get results in a one sided scream off. He threatens to “make your life a living hell” when he’s mad at you and makes it so everything is your fault and he’s the victim. Mom and me are the one taking care of the kids. If she has to go somewhere or run errands and dads home, it’s more like I’m babysitting. He just sits on his ass either watching inappropriate shows or on his phone. Then gets mad when I try to keep the peace with the kids. Saying I’m not the parent, well dad that’s the point I’m not the parent, I’m a kid, not you! So instead of me being the parent, you finally step up and stop acting like the child!
