My family is close because we let everyone live their own lives, withhold judgement and extend help. We spend time together (some more often than others) and build these relationships.
“Absent trauma, abuse or crime” like those are rare things in families with estrangements! Lol. You are smug because you are ignorant. Abuse and trauma are in fact LEGION in dysfunctional families; under-discussed, under-reported. Crime, too — do you think people with criminal records, from drunk drivers to tax fraud, dont have siblings? My sister and her partner are not allowed in my house because her partner would ABSOLUTELY steal my social security card and sell it for $5. My uncle would ABSOLUTELY give my underage child vodka. My mom would ABSOLUTELY lie to police about anything, even the time of day.
Nice job on letting everyone live their own lives in harmony and acceptance tho.
