I would agree M that Tia's family certainly sound "interesting" in an educational sense.
Tia's family are far removed from the template of family structure that is the norm in my part of the world.
Most people here live conventional lives.

What most people may or may not do do is beside the point, which is that you denounced the family in question as 'dysfunctional'. You had no grounds to use this word. I made it entirely clear that it was your use of this word to which I was taking exception; a point which your supposed response to me has evaded entirely.
