Families can be messy, even more so when you're immortal vampires like the Salvatore brothers, Stefan and Damon. Their 145-year history of sibling rivalry and betrayal is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to vampire family drama. The Mikaelson siblings, who have been around for over a thousand years, take dysfunction to a whole new level with their centuries-long feuds and betrayals. From sibling daggering to attempted murders, the Mikaelsons have seen it all.

But dysfunctional family dynamics aren't exclusive to vampires.

Elena's desperate attempts to keep her brother Jeremy and aunt Jenna safe by keeping them in the dark about supernatural threats backfire in dramatic ways. Caroline's parents have rejected and tortured her for being a vampire, showing that human families can be just as messy as vampire ones.

Legacies continue the trend of family drama with Hope inheriting her father's enemies and Josie and Lizzie facing the harsh reality of the Gemini Coven Merge. No matter the generation, family drama is always a compelling storyline, whether it involves vampires or humans. Ultimately, no family is perfect, and the supernatural world is no exception to this rule.
