As they say, family can either be a blessing or a burden. I feel like you can have your family to fall back on if you're not doing well with friends. But it's hard when you're not crazy about your family. Well, that's the position I'm in.

Me too. Everyone acts like I am too picky or something but my family is legitimately broken and problematic.
- my brother has always been disrespectful of me and he himself is not an upstanding person. He doesn't have health insurance or a job and probably will end up divorced living on my couch. He makes poor decisions but doesn't know he makes them.
- all of my cousins are broken people physically and mentally. NONE of them work. Most are on welfare and medicaid. All have elaborate diseases. All are lazy. Most are older than me so I would be taking care of them but there would be no pay back on the other end.
I would actually be willing to help them but I get the strong feeling based on evidence that when it came time to help me.. I would not be "family" enough for them. Their husbands or kids or whatever would take precedence.
I personally feel that what this thread seems to come down to is that some family take other family members for granted. It is too bad. I probably should have put more investment into friends.
