I absolutely agree 100 percent. Just because someone is a family member does not mean you should trust them off the bat. In fact, in a lot of cases, family members have been proven to be the most untrustworthy. Like I said in my post, I've been burned many times by people who I thought were real friends, but I know many family members that are actually way worse. In comparison, they even make casual acquaintances seem like better or more trustworthy friends. I don't tell my family anything personal. I think the reason it is worse in my family is because there's no getting away from them until I move out and can put distance between us. No one, family or not, should be trusted right off the bat. As harsh as it sounds, there are family members that I know who I wouldn't care if I never saw again. We have no close relationships.
