My &lt;span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD9"&gt;family tree&lt;/span&gt;  includes two alcoholic grandparents and an alcoholic father and  brother. I have an uncle in prison serving a life sentence for murder  and another uncle that was murdered while robbing a &lt;span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD3"&gt;drug&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD8"&gt;store&lt;/span&gt;. My family does not do ancestry.com. &lt;br /&gt;My earliest memories include my father exploding into a drunken rage  and throwing his dinner across the kitchen. Afterwards, while sporting a  black eye, my mother would deny anything was wrong. There was always  drama in our home and it was not a safe place to grow up.&lt;br /&gt;Thankfully I found ACA and other &lt;span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD5"&gt;support groups&lt;/span&gt; to help me let go of the past and move forward.&lt;br /&gt;I’ve wanted to create a magazine style website for many &lt;span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD4"&gt;years&lt;/span&gt;  but never had the courage to follow through on the idea. This website  (Dysfunky.org) is my attempt to express myself creatively with humor and  care in hopes of helping others who have grown up in a dysfunctional  family.&lt;br /&gt;I highly recommend you go to a &lt;span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD7"&gt;support group&lt;/span&gt;  meeting if you have never been. The care and acceptance found at a 12  step meeting may just change your life. My preference is ACA meetings.&lt;br /&gt;Feel free to send me messages or any suggestions on the &lt;a href="http://dysfunky.org/contact/" title="Contact"&gt;contact page&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;God Bless You,&lt;br /&gt;John&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8408787053735173842-6864119972536707424?l=dysfunky.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dysfunky.blogspot.com/feeds/6864119972536707424/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://dysfunky.blogspot.com/2012/01/dysfunkyorg.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8408787053735173842/posts/default/6864119972536707424'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8408787053735173842/posts/default/6864119972536707424'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dysfunky.blogspot.com/2012/01/dysfunkyorg.html' title='Dysfunky.org'/><author><name>dysfunky</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11630534609685093548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
