My wife's family is functional. Both parents have a small union pension now, the siblings all get along. No poverty events or disasters in their past. It's great to see.
My side is like a bunch of raccoons fighting over a grape, all the freakin' time. The atomics had divorce, two abject poverty events, 1 house fire disaster, and we all bear the scars.
I joke that I was a charity case and I Stockholmed her into marrying me !
