Dysfunctional

I wonder

if mental illness

runs in my family



or are we just

dysfunctional?



define dysfunctional…



in this modern day

everything is dysfunctional

so in other words,

my family is normal



my father was an alcoholic

my father’s father

was an alcoholic

and my father’s father’s father

was an alcoholic



will my brothers be alcoholics too?



on both sides of my family

criticism and emotional distance

rule

maybe it has something



to do with where we came from

nobody really knows for sure

some European countries



our blood is just tainted…



instead of

unification

we’re divided by

daily competitions
