Control or Chaos. One must be in control of all interactions, feelings and personal behavior at all times—control is the major defense strategy for shame. In the less-than-human shameless marriage, both parents may be cocaine addicts or addicted in other ways. They may be dishonest criminals. The children experience chaos, as well as secrecy rules that guard their family’s behavior. 2. Perfectionism or Anomie. Always be right in everything you do. The perfectionist rule always involves an imposed measurement. The fear and avoidance of the negative is the organizing principle of life. The members live according to an externalized image. No one ever measures up. In the less-than-human family, there are no rules—the children have no structure to guide them.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "John Bradshaw" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/john-bradshaw/the-dysfunctional-family-rules-1-control-or-chaos-one-must-be-in/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/587/john-bradshaw-2227_children_the-dysfunctional-family-rules-1-control_789665.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/587/john-bradshaw-2227_children_the-dysfunctional-family-rules-1-control_789665.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/587/john-bradshaw-2227_children_the-dysfunctional-family-rules-1-control_789665.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“THE DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILY RULES 1.
