I may just be the queen of dysfunction... sadly, not my choice and am doing everything I can to fix it. Sorta hard though when the government fucks your kids.
As for the family I grew up in... Yea, it was pretty bad, but still I knew others who were far worse off than me. All in all, I would have to say that my younger sister has turned out best in life as she was ignored for the most part by both my parents and as screwed up as I was, I think I did a pretty OK job mothering her myself.
I forgave my parents for all the fucked up things they did to us as kids because no parents have a guide book. But I am having a very hard time letting go of the things they did to us as adults... by that point, they should have gotten a clue.
