Would you date someone with a dysfunctional family?

Question

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.

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😘

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.

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

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.

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

Walshyy94 · Answer

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

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.
