The Dysfunctional's: The Misadventures of the Greatest Generation… Now in Couples Therapy

THE DYSFUNCTIONAL'S is a laugh-out-loud comedy set inside Oakwood Estates, a pristine 55+ community in Houston where the biggest scandals used to be lawn-height violations and heated pickleball rivalries, until the HOA discovers Medicare will reimburse for couples therapy.Armed with folding chairs, motivational posters from 1987, and some extremely questionable ethics, the board transforms the dusty recreation hall into the Oakwood Wellness Center and sets out to save the community's marriages… while padding the budget.The only problem? No licensed therapist in their right mind will touch the job.So they hire the only person desperate enough to take it: a brilliant, idealistic 27-year-old fresh out of graduate school who is completely unprepared for a support group made up of forty-year grudges, secret affairs, passive-aggressive casseroles, weaponized bingo nights, and husbands who still think feelings are a Cold War conspiracy.What follows is an emotional demolition derby of aging egos, marital warfare, unfiltered secrets, and chaotic group therapy sessions that feel more like courtroom drama than counseling.THE DYSFUNCTIONAL'S is part sitcom, part therapy session, and part roast of the "Greatest Generation," proving that you're never too old to be stubborn, dramatic, hilarious… or absolutely impossible to fix.Perfect for fans of sharp humor, witty dialogue, outrageous characters, and stories that find heart in the middle of total chaos. Bernard Theriot is a Houston-based entrepreneur, creator, and storyteller who has spent a lifetime in the middle of big personalities, big mistakes, and even bigger comebacks. From the music industry to real estate to now the world of fiction, Bernard brings raw humor, hard-earned wisdom, and a fearless love for chaos to every page he writes.THE DYSFUNCTIONAL'S is his first major work of fiction and the beginning of a bold comedy series inspired by real-life characters, unbelievable stories, and the one universal truth he knows to be real, families are messy, marriages are harder, and laughter is the only thing that makes it all survivable.
