Understanding Family Dynamics

This week we learned a lot about how families work and the systems within them. This led me to analyze my own family and see where we fit into the category of systems. My family centers around my Mom which probably isn't too unusual from the norm. She pulls us all together no matter what someone is going through and loves us through it all. Whenever we are going through hard times we usually break the tension through humor and jokes. We are always capable of having fun together and laughing things off which is what I love the most about my family. My Dad is a source of strength and inspiration to all of us; he's overcome a lot in his life and has made a wonderful life for all of us. I look up to my parents so much and hope to raise my kids similar to how they've raised me. My siblings and I definitely wouldn't be as close if it weren't for my parents and I'm definitely grateful for that!
