Not that I condone this, but:
If you want to research on laws in your state (or country?), you'll probably find that the law prohibits interfamily marriage with immediate family (father, mother, son, daughter). Seeing as how he isn't even related to you 100%, it's quite possible it's actually legal to date him if you chose to act upon your fantasies. The chances of genetic mutation and retardation due to inbreeding are actually extremely low and usually requires several generations of inbreeding to occur. I know of two people who've dated first cousins before, neither relationship worked out.

Anways, I'm guessing you are just fantasizing and not thinking about acting upon. In which case, I would say it's perfectly healthy to fantasize, even if it is taboo. Hell, there is even incest porn (literature as well as film) to aid you in your fantasies. (I only know this because one of my friends collects _all_ kinds of porn.) Although, it's more typical for the incest porn to involve immediate family. And it's safe if you don't act upon your fantasies because they are just that, your imagination.

Oh, and I would recommend therapy, but not because of your fantasies. Anyone can benefit from a therapist, even people who see themselves as coming from a functional family. But since you say you come from a dysfunctional one, you might benefit more than someone from a "healthy" family. Everyone has emotional baggage that could use a little work and healing.
