Family, a curse or a great benefactor only each individual can honestly tell which is the case. My immediately family is a joy a relaxing time for me to bond with my wife of 13 years and share lifes moments and tribulations. Some days are good and some not so good yet the majority are great. We discuss we argue, we discuss why we argued and then resolve the issues before saying goodnight and nevre go to bed mad or upset with one another.
My distant family is another matter some are so self centered they can only relate to what they require or how they must borrow or take from others to survive. One member is so dependent upon support from the US government he has ceased to exist as a self reliant person and has as a result disowned the entire family. The others are so consummed with the negative aspects of life the have lost sight of the better side of life. They never look for the brighter side of life only the negative impacts and how they can perpetuate the negative to give them a sense of existance.
I call them "Drama Queens" something is always wrong.
As a result of their self inflicted wounds I have distanced myself from them soi as not to drag my wife and I into their acts of self destructive drama. It was a hard decision to distance mysely yet a necessity for me to maintain my mental well being and the happiness of my wife and my dog Hank.
I believe strongly in self effacing prophecy and will not allow myself to be brought down by their behavior.
My wife and my dog are my immediate family and yes we have found happiness.
