I think it’s fairly common to love family members yet don’t necessarily like them as people. I don’t like my father as a person at all but I sure love him. One of my stepkids is very difficult (the other one is great), my husband loves her dearly (and so do I) but most certainly he doesn’t like her as a person and frankly most people don’t

I think with friendships and romantic relationships, if I don’t like someone I am out. In families it’s not the same. We choose friends and lovers/romantic partners, we sure didn’t choose our families. We can still love them even if they sometimes suck as people
