[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here.  OP, I hope you are grateful of what you have, tell them, and realize that not everyone is so fortunate.

Regarding the latter, I hope you are supportive of people you know who are not as fortunate.  I feel this is important because my friends with close family can sometimes be the most draining and insufferable, because they know no other way.  They truly do take their situation for granted.

In addition, remember that things are not always what they seem.  You may think someone else has it better or worse, when in fact they may have a situation that is the opposite.  You really do never know.

OP's post judged no one, certainly not others' families. Your post seems to mean well but is off base; OP isn't saying "My family's ideal, look at our perfections." Anything but.

It sounds almost as if you're warning her off daring to say her relationships are good and valued ones, lest she bring bad vibes down on her own head because others have less happy families. 
And you and I have no idea whether she's "supportive of people who are not as fortunate" but I would bet that anyone who is able to be as kind about others' foibles and situations as she is in the post is also able to be kind to those outside her family.
