I'm Living With a Dysfunctional Family - How Do I Not Become Them?
I need to know if it's possible to seperate myself from my dysfunctional family while still living with them. I want to be able to build healthy relationships and possibly have a family of my own one day that's loving and that communicates well with each other. Please help!!!! Recommend books, or things I can do right now.

remember that it is there issues and NOT yours... I come from a VERY dysfunctional family.. and I just have to at times distance myself from them and tell myself that I am not them, and I keep myself busy with work and friends.

Make an example of them for yourself. Just keep your mind open and only influence yourself. Dysfunction is only cured by the absent of spite and the ability to keep and open mind and evaluate situations from multiple angles. Don't lose your childlike vigor, hold onto love and never let your heart grow cold. push yourself to move in life with the knowledge that you will be different and your family values and strategies will benefit from knowing what not to do.

at the end of the day, they love you weather you believe it or not or weather you like it or not. It is inherent among any family anywhere. Just hang in.

You sure can. Although you cannot control what they do or say, you can totally control your own actions, reactions and own your life. There are a lot of places on the net to go. Lifeskills, coping.com, self-esteem, anger management, and on and on and on. You can learn how to be a great person and live a great life. Take care of yourself and get a break from the chaos when it is too much. Consider some professional support as well. They can change your life. I love it that you recognize the dysfunction and want to write your own story for your life. Good for you. I have no doubt you will succeed.
