Black Family Dysfunction

These are my observations as a person that grew up in the inner city of Washington DC.  I have been speaking on this subject for many years and would like to pass it on. Please be aware that you may be your families link on the road back to a healthier condition.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY


THE 20 WARNING SIGNS OF BLACK FAMILY DYSFUNCTION
By Dalani Aamon

1.IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE AROUND YOUR FAMILY.

2.IF YOU DON'T TALK ABOUT YOUR FAMILY.

3.IF YOUR PARENTS DON'T TALK TO EACH OTHER.

4.DO YOUR SIBLINGS CALL YOUR PARENTS BY THEIR FIRST NAMES.

5.BROTHERS AND SISTERS THAT DON'T HAVE RELATIONSHIPS.

6.PEOPLE THAT GET MARRIED IN HIGH SCHOOL.

7.IF SOMEONE ELSE IS RAISING YOUR CHILD.

8.IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHO YOUR EXTENDED FAMILY IS AND HAVE NO DESIRE TO FIND OUT.

9.IF YOU ARE VIOLENT TOWARD FAMILY MEMBERS.

10.IF YOU ARE VERBALLY ABUSIVE TOWARDS FAMILY MEMBERS.

11.IF YOU DON'T SPEAK OUT AGAINST SELF-DESTRUCTIVE BEHAVIOR.

12.IF YOU ARE A TEENAGER TRYING TO GET PREGNANT.

13.IF YOU DON'T HUG YOUR CHILDREN.

14.IF YOU STAY ISOLATED IN FAMILY SETTINGS.

15.IF YOU SHOULD WORK AND DON'T.

16.IF YOU DON'T WANT TO LIVE ANYMORE.

17.IF YOU ARE A SUBSTANCE ABUSER.

18.IF YOU ARE A CHILD ABUSER.

19.IF SOMEONE IN YOU FAMILY HAS ABUSED YOU.

20.IF ANYTHING IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN FAMILY.

These are behaviors that represent symptons of deeper problems.Most families won't even discuss them. I call them generational dysfunction or problems that were passed on to you without your permission.The one glaring thing I see in my unofficial research is that all these could be solved.We the current generation have to show TOTAL love to all family members from birth.That's it,real simplistic and you can start today. Don't repeat ANY of the negative behavior that you have experienced. It is a learned behavior that has to be relearned.Find some compelling reason to be better than your circumstances dictate. I want to leave you with this fact. Once you know better, you have to do better!!
