I'm aware that it's not my business to look down upon and cast judgement, but these statements are absolutely depressing as fuck. Family is one of the most important things in life and whilst I'm aware that situations change and not everybody had a comfortable upbringing, it's still prudent to have a relationship with them in some capacity. To see people on here proudly stating they haven't seen their own flesh and blood in over a decade reinforces my view of how fucked up we are in the west, it's a case of getting out of the house as quickly as possible and not looking back until you've had your share of hard-core consumerism. When I see families in Asian and African cultures usually living close to one another and enjoying many moments with one another, I wonder if we're the bad guys and they're the ones who got it right.
This.
If I came from an average family upbringing, I’d agree with you. But I don’t associate myself with toxic people who go out of their way to make my life hell. Doesn’t matter if it’s family or not
My brother got into a relationship with a woman 30 years older and had a child with her before he was 20. There is also 10 years of age difference between us.

See, if this was the case I would have gone with “clever use of game mechanics”, but she is not rich, nor pretty.
My family is not really close knit , we just aren’t that kind of people. I care for my brother , but most of the time I feel like he died a long time ago, family doesn’t really matter much to me compared to others, I was not raised that way.
My parents are not divorced.
