How do I tell if the family is fraying even though everyone says they're fine?

Family disconnection rarely shows up in the official conversations. It shows up in how often the family eats together and how the founder is doing physically. Twice-a-year dinners. Kids who only communicate by text. A founder gaining weight while blood pressure climbs. These are the signals that something has been quietly fraying for years. The official succession plan looks fine on paper. Kris Kluver opens The Dysfunctional Family Office with a family that fits this exact pattern. Robert Mitchell built a successful company. His three adult kids barely talk. He's 40 pounds overweight. The board meeting blows up not because the legal documents are wrong but because the family's daily life has been hollow for a long time.
