If You Think Your Family Is Dysfunctional, You'll Definitely Recognize These 8 People

Minimizing, denial, lack of boundaries... The whole gang's here!

Let's get one thing straight: Family is no walk in the park.

Just because you look like a unit on the surface...

...doesn't mean you don't have your issues.

And if you've ever felt like yours is less than functional...

...then you've probably got at least one of these people in your family.

1. The Sibling Who's Just Way Too Into Fitness

It didn't seem that bad at first, but after years of watching him replacing feelings with fitness, it sure the heck is now!

2. The Uncle Who Basically Replaced Your Dad

He's weirdly good at caring for your family. Even if he sometimes talks like your middle school English teacher.

3. The Problem Child Who Has Issues With Authority

He's always getting into some kind of trouble and seems to have a massive chip on his shoulder. Is he a good person deep down, at least? Who knows?! It's fun not to know!!

4. The Sister Who's in Everyone's Business

Thrives on the ~drama~. She'll nose in, casually stir sh*t up, then sip her tea in the corner as everyone battles it out. Oh, but it's none of her business, if you ask her.

5. The Mess of a Middle Child

The lovable, ne'er-do-well sibling who remains convinced that things will swing his way any day now! He can always make you laugh despite consistently ruining his own life in new and exciting ways every day.

6. The (Dubiously) Innocent Kid

Ever had a little sibling who's mysteriously mature for his age? How is he so good at resolving family drama?? WHAT DARK SECRETS IS HE HIDING?!?!

7. The Obsessively Cheerful Mother

She's amazing at taking care of everyone but herself and lives in a blissful bubble of denial. Oh, the world is ending? But look! She made pie!

8. The Black Sheep

This is the odd kid out in your family — you know, the one you always joked might be adopted. (But, like, actually, is she?) She might not seem to *fit* with the rest of you at first, but she's also the glue that holds you all together.
