* Most members of the Grape family in ''Film/WhatsEatingGilbertGrape'' are pretty screwed up. Mr. Grape killed himself some time ago, and Bonnie Grape, his wife, has taken to PostStressOvereating to deal with the grief, becoming morbidly obese in the process. With exception of Janice and Larry, who have left the family house and are implied to be better off, most of their children aren't faring well either. Arnie is good at heart, but he often gets into reckless mischief, and due to his developmental disability, he cannot grasp why some of things he's doing are illegal and dangerous or learn from his mistakes. Gilbert and Amy taken over as [[PromotedToParent the family's primary caregivers in Bonnie's stead]], with all the stress that entails. Gilbert also feels like he's wasting his life away taking care of others in a dying small town. Ellen, like Gilbert and Amy, is relatively well-adjusted, but she's still too immature and impatient to take care of Arnie and is rather bratty.

* ''Series/MarriedWithChildren'': The show was meant as a subversion of the clean-cut DomCom shows of the early '80s about loving, wholesome, upper middle-class families, instead featuring a lower-class family who seem to constantly be at each others' throats. This show and ''Series/{{Roseanne}}'' are arguably the [[TropeCodifier Trope Codifiers]] of the Dysfunctional Family sitcom, as they started the trend of [[DomCom Dom Coms]] featuring dysfunctional families. The Bundys are a family of maladjusted people who generally don't get along; the father is a Jaded Washout and a Bumbling Dad, the mother does nothing all day but sit on the couch and eat bonbons, their kids are unhappy (sometimes) and dislike each other (almost always), and the family is generally fairly poor. It is safe to say the Bundys' household income is divided as 99-1 with Peg getting the upper percentage while Bud and Kelly combined get the lower one. That leaves Al with nothing. The kids are divided on which parent is the LesserOfTwoEvils, sometimes going with mom because Al can be a bit of a ControlFreak at times especially if he demands family time, and the other times with Al himself since Peg is a lazy, negligent mother who won't feed them at all. The viewer usually only sees the kids warming up to Al, with Peg out of the picture.

* ''Fanfic/{{Alicorn}}'': The Royal Family of Equestria is a mess. Celestia is wracked by guilt over her failures as a parent and desperately wants to reconnect with her daughter, Rainbow Dash is deeply resentful of her mother and wants nothing to do with her, and Luna is caught between them, trying her best to be there for both without making anything worse. Twilight Sparkle being [[LikeADaughterToMe more of a daughter to Celestia than Rainbow]] complicates things further.

* ''Fanfic/ADarkerPath'': As Cherie starts to heal and move past her abusive upbringing, she lets Taylor know snippets of what it was like in Heartbreaker's household. There were the little things, like constant arguments between the children, bitter competition for Heartbreaker's favour amongst his harem, and sharp criticism for everything, never praise. Then the larger things, like Cherie being rented out to Heartbreaker's friends for the night. Plus, of course, Heartbreaker using his power to load all sorts of destructive antisocial impulses into everyone's heads. She isn't sure what to think at first when she sees the very different dynamic between Taylor and Danny, but quickly becomes attached to a home that actually shows affection and has reasonable standards of behaviour.
--> '''Cherie:''' I thought I'd beaten him. When I ran, when I got away, I thought I was free of his influence. But I'd just been living with it for so long that it was part of me.
