My family jokes: "We put the 'fun' in dysFUNctional." We are a gang of PTSD-ridden alcoholics and traumatized individuals with high ACE scores.

Some of us are in 12-step programs, some of us are not.

Looking forward to the occasion of our eldest grandson's high school graduation is a cause of stress for me. Some of us have the tendency to say hurtful and intentionally divisive things to each other behind everyone's backs. This is led and egged-on by my spouse's ex, the other grandparent of this boy.
