Do they all live in different parts of the country? Cause my yuppie ******* family lives from VA to NY to CO to CA to GA and still manage to see each other within a ten year period. And as far as I know there's just the one spouse people don't like.

Yeah that's not a real family.

Keep in mind that the town they all live in is f*cking five miles from where I grew up and spent most of my life. I haven't seen 75% of my first cousins since my grandfathers funeral and before that, since I was f*cking twelve. One of my best friends just told me his father has terminal cancer. I cry f*cking thinking about it. That man means more to me than most of my own blood. It's weird and different but the whole "blood is thicker than water" has pretty much zero meaning to me besides my parents, brother, and few select other family members. The day I have to attend a funeral for one of my best friends parents, I probably won't eat for days. The day I attend a funeral from somebody on my mothers side of the family, I'll probably get f*cking Taco Bell afterward. |
Is there a reason for that? Cause my family isn't that great at being a traditional family but we can still band together when push comes to shove and we still maintain basic ties.

That's some soap series **** Exo. I hope it works out well. I relate to what you're saying about blood not being thicker than water, because the older generations of my family are not a good environment. We're still good with most of them but we're a bit of an outcast branch and my mom basically created her own family of friends. I grew up among them regarding them as aunts and uncles, and they mean more than most of my actual family. The same applies to the parents of my childhood friends, actually. I was the kind of kid who really got along with my friends' parents lol. And then of course there's my father's family that I mostly don't have any bond with

I have to ask, how come you never put a dot at the end of your last sentence? Is it some kind of OCD thing?
Also, agree on the whole family is what you make of it thing. I have wildly varying degrees of bonds with my siblings (we are 5) (don't speak with my homophobe brother for example) and parents (don't care for my father much). Nothing quite as reality tv as exo's situation though. That NJ is really wild! :laughing: |

It's almost a subconscious thing I do because in text messages or posts I always feel like I sound so serious and strict if I end with a dot, if you get what I mean. Not OCD, but mildly neurotic |

My parents have also always worked multiple jobs and I started working early so we just never had the time to co-exist. |
