Family pain can pass through generations, from grandparent, to child, to grandchild, in sometimes invisible ways.  The "Looking Good Family" is a concept Ann Smith has developed to describe what happens when dysfunction goes underground, and issues such as Alcoholism skip a generation.  Things are not always what they seem and dysfunction can reappear in a new form despite efforts to bury it.
