Carolyn Hax: How do they teach their son about family when they’re estranged from their own?
I thought I was marrying into a “super healthy” family, but eventually, after years of therapy, I realized they are just healthier than mine, which isn’t much of a standard. That said, his dad is a great example of learning and growth, and his mom (divorced) is mostly manageably erratic. She also had/has addiction issues.
