My Family is Not What I Expected

Family is wonderful and messy, complicated, and clear. All while bringing great joy and deep hurt. We hang signs in our kitchens about the value of family and quietly wonder if ours is functional or dysfunctional? Marriage, being a parent, having in-laws, parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews...with this many relationships one of them is bound to be tricky!
