KO> Coming from a dysfunctional family can be a source of stength. 
JB> Coming from a dysfunctional faily is a life-crippling event and 
shoukd treated as such. 
  
Well, I think you're both right, to an extent. KO is correct in the 
sense that some, not all but some, people can become stronger people. 
But on the other hand, JB is also correct in saying that that kind of 
situation can also have some damaging affects on the children as well.
