What makes a dysfunctional family? I believe that everyone has their own idea of what dysfunction is. My thoughts on what dysfunction is in a family would be everything that the Glass Castle talked about. The fact that the father couldn’t hold down a job, and the mother was truly capable to work and didn’t even when they were all starving and cold. The fact that the children had to take care of each other and their parents at times, truly breaks my heart. I know what it is like to have to grow up before you’re ready and that never leaves your being. I’m the oldest child of three and my dad was definitely not a competent father. I took care of my little sisters as far back as I can remember. My parents worked, but when my mom was working and we were with just my dad, we were lucky to get warm meals. I thought that was bad till I read the Glass Castle. I had a great childhood, and I have my mom to thank for that. She made me who I am today.
