Would you date someone with a dysfunctional family?

Haha, I'm from a dysfunctional family. I was abused as a child and had to go to the hospital as a teenager because of depression and schizophrenia (I started developing schizophrenia after awful abuse one time - I'm not naturally crazy lol).
My boyfriend was adopted, and his parents aren't the most loving people.
It makes it hard when you see someone suffer, but in a relationship, you're there to support the person. Just because you've come from a harsh past doesn't mean you can't pave the way for the future to become something beautiful.

Wow, awe, I hope you recover. *hugs*

Thanks:)

I tried it and it had been a huge factor of how my ex and I's relationship was tourn apart besides our own issues. Our immediate family did not get along whatsoever and I mostly took it to heart. I knew it wasn't going to work from that point on.

People out here saying “no”. I come from a bad childhood... it has taught me many things, and I’ve come out a better person than many who have an average life. So, take your opinion and shove it😘

[Trapistan]

Depends what you mean, mentally dysfunctional? Then yeah, if the person doesn't because of that then he's scared of you're gene's or just an asshole, if y'all fight a lot then y'all need to sit the fuck down and talk shit out like a family, it shouldn't be hard to get along.

I'm going to be dating someone pretty soon who has a dysfunctional family and rough past. I plan on being there for her.

[rahul_24]

I also did but in the end, her family never accepted me so she said she has to listen to her family

[Opinion Owner]

@rahul_24 I see what you mean. She is pretty independent though. She has had some bad exs in the past and from what I know she does not have that much family around her mother and older relative. He mom is moving soon too. I think even if they don't accept me. We will still date.

[rahul_24]

My ex was that independent, strong minded woman. Her past was very tough thou including her ex messed her up pretty badly. Not saying don't date, just know what you are doing

[Opinion Owner]

@rahul_24 OK I will. Thank you for the heads up. Sound kinda what my girl has gone through.

[rahul_24]

No, and ask the best. If you need any help lemme know

[Opinion Owner]

@rahul_24 I will.

Yes, my family isn't perfect either. I think as long as you are a good person, that's what should matter.

[Anonymous]

Both my boyfriend and I have dysfunctional families and it has absolutely no effect on our relationship... so yes, depending on what the dysfunction was, I suppose.

[Tibo_B]

I assume the girl isn't dysfunctional? If so i don't care, if you truly love someone their family isn't a problem.

[blkhermano]

As long as that person does not act like the family, it shouldn't matter.

[mikeymetalhead]

yeah, hell mines dysfunctional af, who am i to judge lol

[ruemi]

Everybody's family is dysfunctional. That's the world we live in

[Anonymous]

I would but if it starts to affect me too heavily then I would have to rethink...

[Seppelson]

Yes I want the girl not her family. I don't even care about her family

[rahul_24]

Everyone has a skeleton in their closet. I would only choose a person who will be with me too, this wouldn't matter

[Kris000081]

Yup cause all families are dysfunctional in some way or another

[MadeInHeavenQueen]

Yes. Prince Harry did. Our families, does not determine our future. God does.

[torwulf]

Yes, but I'd tread carefully. Dysfunction breeds dysfunction more often than not

[Walshyy94]

Yeah, a person's family should have no bearing on if you date someone. It's about them. You can't pick your family

[Anonymous]

Yes, it's because broken people understand broken people better.

Try to talk to a girl with a perfect family, she won't understand my life.

[aceexp]

As long as they're not family oriented then yeah

[ultratog1028]

It's 2018. Who doesn't have a dysfunctional family?

[MMM369]

No , that will affect your relationship

[hndsmlytattd1]

If you answered yes , that's the wrong answer... dont make that mistake

[JonnyTrauma]

Yeah I'd be dating her not her family

[es20490446e]

If she's nice herself yes.
