The word dysfunction has, I think, served its purpose and now has lost its meaning. Every family, like every person, is imperfect, after all.

For ever and ever, we say when we are young, or in our prayers. Twice, we say it. Old One, do we not? For ever and ever ... so that a thing may be for ever, a life or a love or a quest, and yet begin again, and be for ever just as before.

For Time does not die, Time has neither beginning nor end, and so nothing can end or die that has once had a place in Time. ~ Susan Cooper

Those extra letters and numbers might have been too expensive. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I could write "I don't know" one million times and publish that as my memoir. And, yes, it would be repetitive, experimental, and more metaphor than history, but it would also be emotionally accurate. ~ Sherman Alexie
