I'm 22yrs old. My family is dsyfunctional. I've grown up without a dad, so has my sister.. without hers. (half sisters) I was raised by my grandparents, that are depressed and have been for many years. All my mother has ever cared about is the guys and drama in her life. I don't have anybody anymore. We don't keep in contact with the rest of the dysfunctional family either. My question is....are MY relationships and my future doomed because of my upbringing? I've never been apart of, or really witnessed real relationships between a man and a woman, so doesn't that mean that I'm more likely to repeat my familys past? I already get involved with emotionally unavailable mean constantly, it's a pattern. My relationships are unhealthy, i already know that, but I don't know of any other way. It's like being dysfunctional, fighting, neglect, using, and abusing are normal for me? Help! What do I do to make sure that I don't make the same mistakes my family has? Is there hope?! Thanks
