no not really.

if you could call out family, a " family", it was everyone for themselves- if someone in the family had a problem (medical or otherwise), it was down to that person alone to support themselves and do something about it

rest of the family didn't care- so now I hate using the word family to describe how i grew up because it was more like a group of un connected and emotionless people.

it's threads like this that make me glad I no longer live with them or know of them
