I know what you mean. I sat on the bench at my daughter's ballet class one night years ago. And the woman next to me asked me something about the family. Or maybe she just said "How are you?" The next thing I knew I was crying and telling her that we had a dysfunctional family. She said to me, "I'd like to see that functional family, if there is one." I was confused, so she went on and said all families are dysfunctional, everyone else is just hiding it. She is right. Don't kid yourself about those people on the bench. They aren't going home to happy families either.
