It’s still up to everyone to decide how to interact with their family for themselves, of course, but there’s nothing wrong with forming new “tribes” outside a family if one feels the need to do that.
I totally agree. I think having friendships outside of family is good. I distance myself from those who dislike me too. And I agree, someone who dislikes you is most likely using you if they are suddenly very nice.
