Hi,

Most of us in this group have "normal children" as well as one with a Personality Disorder. The faulty gene isn't always passed down (as is the case with most genetic disorders)

Personally I think the term " disfunctional family" very often comes from so called professional people E.G social workers who just dont have a clue about PDs and so it is easier for them to blame the family.They appear to look for, what they see as, negative things in a family E.G single parent, working mother, not working mother, step- parent, only child, irrelevent parental background--- whatever suits them really and then they turn it against you.(My experience) They really need educating!!!!
