[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, there are lots of threads on here about this. Make the family you want with your friends. My siblings have stopped visiting (I live near the hometown) and nobody visits them either. We might get a grown niece or nephew passing through so it's not total estrangement - it's just a mutual... "not interested".... it's very freeing.[/quote] OP here. It’s exactly this. If I’d rather spend a summer evening with close friends, and not to the dinner being hosted for Aunt Mildred who is coming in to town with her husband’s children and grandchildren, then I’m horrible. Why? I guess I don’t get it. Why should I care about these people? [/quote] My guess is you don't like where you come from (literally and/or figuratively). And those feelings are triggered with family. Personally I have found that my family is the most trustworthy and dependable thing in my life, even if we are different. [/quote]
