Found my spirit meme
2CraZyXTiRed98
Haha, out of all my friends, I'm the least dysfunctional, so I can't relate to this at all
feverishdodo
This comment section makes me feel so grateful for my family. We have certain dysfunctional streaks but are otherwise close.
waffleincubator
Oh yeah, same here. On the other hand I'm the youngest by 7 years so my perspective may be bit off.
grumplestiltzkin
Yeah, when I went to an easter brunch with my hs gf. I knew I didnt like my family, but I didnt realize just how fucking bad they were.
complimentpin
Honestly I have plenty of disagreements with family, but I get a long really well with them. Being chill people helps.

Then there are people who would truly be much better off if this were the case. Families operate on a pretty wide spectrum.
HsuDoNihm
Yo, right here. Departed shitty family years back. It's a bit lonely, yes, but no more backstabby shit from supposedly trustworthy people.
HandsomeJack19
My sister's boyfriend back in the day (an East coaster) couldn't believe that we, her family, didn't interrogate him when we first met him.
HandsomeJack19
We are midwesterners, we keep things on the surface.

I miss having a family, so this meme hits home.
Imguralterego
1) We have what I always thought was a 'normal' family life. We had friends from NY over for dinner, sat around the table and ate, then
Imguralterego
2) the teenage kids did the dishes (so we could chat to our friends), came and gave us hugs and went to bed. Our guests told us later
Imguralterego
3) that they had only ever seen a family dinner like that on TV, and asked if we were putting it on. We didn't know what they meant.
Imguralterego
4) this is our normal. It really taught me not to take it for granted.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhchu
Not once.
justajiggygiraffe
I remember vividly going to friends houses as a teenager and realizing for the first time that my family was abnormal. Felt real weird
ImpalaChick
My SO's family is like this
wegonfight
Yes, they're called Mormons, MORE-muns.
callmesirgoddamnit
This is ridiculously accurate.
JiffyDealer
Who hurt you?
Lwfc
The MORE-muns did it
CatOnTheRoof
It is all pretend. In most families everybody hates everybody, and they will pretend all is well, when there are guests.
FourScoreandSevenKickstotheBalls
Eh, it depends. Our family is great, but both my parents had fucked up childhoods. I think that really led to our family life being good
AlrightKeepYourSecrets
Thats fucked up, not at all
tatumdad007
Does it bother anyone else that the "tear" trail doesn't run straight down his face but off to the side like he used eye drops?
B0ULLIE
He may have been facing the sky when it fell
MericanFunkYeah
He's either laying down or that's a strong fucking wind
FoolishDomin
Gravity doesn’t effect tears and saline solution much differently. His head was leaning back...
ChristopherKostyshyn
I think the implication was that if he was using eye drops, he was dropping them into his eyes with his head tilted back (like people do)
FoolishDomin
I literally spray my eyes with the bottle lol
TedTheMan
Ouch!
AlrightKeepYourSecrets
Why do you all fuckin hate your family so much? I’ve got 5 siblings and i love all those cunts.
tiarali
I love my siblings. But my dad is, was, and always will be abusive. Nobody else will stand up to him so family events are stressful.
WhenYouMissoutOntheCoolUsernames
You didn't grow up like we did?
BernieMittens
It's called acting for company. My waspy family excells at it
ILoveTomHiddleston
My boyfriend's family is kinda like that. The sister is a bitch. But the parents are wholesome and love eachother. I admire them.
GemsAreOutrageousTrulyTrulyTrulyOutrageous
A member of the dominant American upper-class culture?
Mangana
Some certainly are acting, but many are genuinely happy together. Lucky to be in such a family. I certainly didn’t earn it.
AquaHair
There is dysfunction in every family. But some less than others.

Uhhh did y’all ever talk about it? Like how does she live with herself having done that?

Not talking about it is part of the WASP code

Less sex.
GnomeDeGuerre
My mother did it and for a long time I didn't understand it. Didn't learn to accept the fakery of it.
inquisitor47
This is all too real.
SocietyOfSensation
So sorry for everyone who has to deal with this. I work with the elderly and it breaks my heart learning about so many shitty family 1/2
SocietyOfSensation
histories. It makes me appreciate my family more and more every day. 2/2
WilliamWeird
Some things you can't fake. Visiting a friend who's parents were genuinely fond of their kid kinda messed me up a bit, afterwards.
GnomeDeGuerre
At least you recognized it when you saw it. There's people out there that wouldn't know the difference.
WilliamWeird
That's true -- one can't be resentful to healthy relationships, as it's all relative (pun not intended, but now it is).
GnomeDeGuerre
One can be envious and have desire and sadness over the lost opportunities, I have tried those emotions.
BillListo
Stay tough weird will!
WilliamWeird
Thank you, LameNineties Will -- we Will be strong
BillListo
Yes we Will!

I've never understood how families can constantly hate one another like they do on TV shows or in advice columns.

I always felt sort of bad that I got along well with my family when literally everyone I knew hated there's.
Komer
If my family aren’t fighting/arguing/angry at each other someone has died and even then it’s a 50/50 chance someone is angry.
buttbuttt
i don't think it's that we all hate each other it's just that real families aren't like those in a Hallmark Christmas movie special, yknow?
WumboPower
Same, I love my family. I mean when they’re not complaining about everything of course.
AquaHair
It's called a dysfunctional, abusive home. The parents set the tone for the entire house, and if they're like my mom, they NEVER let the
AquaHair
Children escape the toxic environment by going to friends' houses or anything like that. It causes a lot of animosity.
ThanosWasNotWrong
My father wasn’t there for 15 years and my mom beat me viciously weekly. It’s not hard to hate when you’ve been abused
Valdros
You know how some people are genuinely just bad, obnoxious terrible people who can't be reasoned with? Sometimes those people are family
BackRiverGhost
Cue that "come with and I'll show you a world of imagination" song from Willy Wonka, Mr. Naivety.
errorexe3
It happens. In my experience it was my parents inability to control their anger and other negative impulses.
AquaHair
YES. THIS.
CatOnTheRoof
I have had 5 family members until recently. I had to organize 3 birthday parties if I wanted to see them all without fights
AquaHair
Then just don't invite anyone who is a problem! Problem solved.
killbot9566
My family just consists of hurling insults at each other while being nice from time to time
bongles
Damn bitch, you live like this?
DeadArcadian
I neglected telling my brother about me joining the army bc he'd try to relate to me, a good example of the relationship
ILoveTomHiddleston
Parents who should've used some kind of contraceptive. Like mine. They were totally not ready to have 2 girls. Now we have a messy family.
RisingSol
Because people are shitty, what's so damn hard to understand about that? We don't all get to grow up with good people.
FistingWithJalapenoDoritoFingers
I recently helped my sister move into the basement, since then we've been getting along, I think we just needed space
Mycologics
I don't hate any relatives or inlaws. But my sister can be a bitch. But she means well. I always feel like imgur is tricked into a family
Mycologics
especially married people on here.
gorblin
Behavioral disorders and mental health issues.
AquaHair
This too. My mom would die before getting diagnosed as bipolar or whatever the hell she is.
gorblin
The secret is getting YOUR mental health professionals to secretly diagnose (for your own knowledge)
AquaHair
Eh, no, they can't do that. But my diagnoses of major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety, PTSD, and ADD put a lot of blame on her and
AquaHair
Her shit parenting. I don't need her diagnosed. I figured out she's a narcissist and I'd bet you money she has narcissistic personality
Dyslexicbirch
My dads a speed junkie and alcoholic who cheated on my mum 5 times who always demanded respect, my sister is very selfish who -
Dyslexicbirch
Only cares about her daughter and the family she married into , my mum is the kindest most loving person ive ever met
imgurmage
I hated my sister for 25 years. She only recently grew up and stopped being a totally shitty person; now she's only shitty occasionally.
Dyslexicbirch
My sister never grew out of that shes 31 and shes a selfish bitch
curlthuluuuu
My sister tried to drown me when I was 8 and she was 18......I will never forgive that shitty person

When they were 8, their 18-year-old sister tried to drown them.

That would be a mentally ill individual.

MagicManate
For the longest time I never understood how a family could love each other like they do in sitcoms. Used to think all the hate was normal
AquaHair
Right? It's a crazy awakening when you find out not all homes are like this. Then comes despair because you can't escape...
updoooot
Then you escape as an adult and do your best to learn kindness and happiness
AquaHair
Yes. And get help and therapy so you don't pass on any of that abusive behavior to your own kids. But it's a really hard road.
updoooot
In that process as we speak. ❤️
AquaHair
And I like you. I didn't have to learn those two things because she couldn't take those away from me, but I like the way you think. <3
ThanosWasNotWrong
Yup. It has made relationship building difficult
shutyourpieholedouche
You can escape, I ditched my family for a few years, now I'll see them once a year or so on my terms, they know I'll just leave again if 1/2
AquaHair
I meant that I couldn't escape until I was at least 18. Then I didn't for a year because I decided I could deal with it so I wouldn't have
shutyourpieholedouche
They get too abusive or violent, I set the standard of *don't pill that shit with me*
