<human>: Can you condense the text into a few key points?

So I know it's a pretty all-american thing to have divorced parents and dysfunctional families. I had a particularly difficult time growing up in my family, it was always just me and my mom. Noone else was willing to sacrifice and struggle to hold us all together and even do stuff like eat on Christmas or have birthdays together. But I dream of one day being able to have my own family, but I think about all the beatings and screaming I had to deal with. I'm 20, have never had a relationship and don't know how to act in them or anything. I just wonder if I had my own family if it wouldn't all turn out the same.
<bot>: i'm curious if my dream for a family of my own is childish and naive, or if any of you from fucked up families and homes have been successful with it.
