Functional or dysfunctional family

I believe that living in a household that has a family member drinking heavily and possibly having an alcoholic in it; it would lead into a dysfunctional family. The reasons being that family member would be coming home at any times of the night or even morning and possibly being violent. It is proven that 1 out of 5 kids in America are also affected by having a family member that is an alcoholic in the family; they tend to not focus in school, not to have friends and to also have a depression.

                I would say that a functional family would be there and support a family member if they were going through those troubles and try to get them help, which would show the love and support that is actually within the family. They wouldn’t be spending their spare money on liquor or things that they don’t need, they would use all of it on items that they need for them or their family.
