How can my family be healthy and happy?

Differentiated Family Members

Members of healthy, happy families tend to be what is called "differentiated". Although family members are well connected to each other, each member also has a keen sense of who they are as a separate person. Individuals in healthy, happy families are not dependent upon each other entirely for emotional or social support. Although they rely on the family for support, they are also able to generate emotional and social support on their own.
