In families of 4 or more, is it pretty standard for at least one member to have lots of problems?

Yes. Every family has someone that has issues, no matter how well they hide it.

For sure. In my family i am one of 7 total kids and one of my brothers is really out there. he has this weird condition that makes him extremely smart but he's a nut and quite frankly we're all scared of what he may do. hes really messed up in the head. been in mental hospitals and stuff. he is obsessed with studying and in 4 years of normal college, he is quadruple majoring and double minoring.

that's not even legal

What are you talking about? He is, i am not lying to you.

Families with old money have the most issues, more skeletons innthecloset than a funeral home.

No actually working class families have a lot more issues, particularly with addiction, crime, and mental health. Sorry to burst your bubble.

I have seen this.

I have also seen a family of 6; mom, dad, 3 sons and a daughter be pretty wealthy and have no issues.

I have seen middle class families with addiction, narcissism, outright psychopaths, etc.

There is also an issue with poor people having addiction problems.

No one is really any better or worse off mentally by class.

The rich just get to show it off more because they have a money to make a scene of it.

7 kids

no drug/alch/mental issues

all grown

all married happily, some with kids others not

all more than gainfully employed

live all over the country

little to no probs growing up

contact each other regularly weekly or tri weekly

me - I'm fatter than I was in college

confidant we are 'an exception'

If this is true, I'd guess it's related to 1 out of 5 people having issues not anything to do with families.

No, my wife is from old money, the entire family act has their own therapist, all have alcohol issues, some have addiction issues, can cover it up with money, so who knows.

Her brother married older money, lots of it, her family has 7 kids, three homosexuals, others with issues.

My wife\\\'s extended family is even worse, a few Wall Street execs, big addiction issues, goes on and on, the more money, the more problems, hang ups galore.

Homosexuality is an issue?

Where does he say that? You put those two together, not him.

Family of five. Mother and two siblings suffer from mental illness. Mother and one sibling have personality disorders. Both siblings have problems with addiction. Father is sane but has extreme anger management issues. I have more or less divorced myself from them and have had to move over 700 miles away just to keep them out of my life. Can't imagine this is normal though. Humanity wouldn't be here if it was.

I didnt put anything together. I asked a question because I thought it wasn't clear whether he was considering it an issue or not. Good job on the reading comprehension.

Really, there are no "minors". Anyone can say they minored in something, because it's a made-up term. No college transcript says " minored" and there is no minor degree.

Hmm so why does my college transcript list my minor? Am I seeing things or are you completely ignorant?

Yup.
