Adult children from dysfunctional families: A few words about the functioning and the consequences of living in the wrong family environment

The article focuses on the ecosystem of the family as the basic socializing environment of the child. However, this is not another definitional approach, but rather a synthesis of knowledge necessary to determine the background constituting the fundamental issues of family environment. This study is centered around the consequences of growing up in the families involved in crises and its consequences for the further functioning in adulthood. Today, more and more attention is paid not only to adults with an adult child of an alcoholic syndrome (DDA), but also more broadly – on an adult child of a dysfunctional family (DDD), thereby making it clear that children who grew up in the wrong, dysfunctional environment, design disturbed behaviour on their own life partner, family and social surroundings.
