I have a hard time with this. “Family” had been difficult for me all my life. I still try to sort through where I might be contributing to problems so I can change my own behavior. I can’t change theirs though. For me, family are the people who really care about you. That’s very few people for me. My SIL, for example... I don’t consider him family because of the way he treats me. But I treat him with respect and I’m stuck seeing him whether I want to or not. I just don’t call that family...
