Rhutobello is right. Novadays, family is not as important as it used to be in the past. Not only in the USA, as I can read, but also in Europe where I live. Times have changed and they still do. However, I think that long ago even if people didn't like each other, they remembered that they are a family and it obliged them to respect each other (usually) and to spend time with each other.
The whole situation bothers you because everybody wants to have a family (consciously or unconsciously). Family is supposed to be supportive to create in us the feeling of being loved, necessary, and safe. If you don't feel it, something inside you usually tells you that it's not normal situation. You think that you can live without this support because you probably used to do so but actually you crave for it unconsciously.
I think I know what you feel because my family also is mostly like this and have always been. Usually I don't care and I say that I don't need them but sometimes comes the moment of consideration and it turns out that it hurts me a lot. Especially when I compare myself to people whose families seem to look better.
However, the truth is that members of your family that you describe are really not worth your interest. I can see that you are a good and emotional person. No wonder that you feel rejected but remember that there are many people in the world and not only blood relationships can make us close to each other. Take care of your relationships with friends; it should help. You can't choose your family but you can choose your friends.
I give you a great hug and wish you good luck!  |
Thank you. I very much appreciate your post and your thoughts. I love my family dearly, but I have to learn that they're a busy lot.
Again, thank you...I feel better knowing there are people out there (you all) who are sending me good thoughts and warm feelings.
