Whats Your Family Like?

I love how you can't not go there in any given post.

 

My family is a little spread out nowadays but very close...parents have been together for I don't even know how long now... mom is quirky and fun, got me loving music and playing the guitar... dad is mellow and a truly nice man... he got me loving motorcycles... they're genuine good people...

Siblings, 2 older sisters beat me up, tried to paint my nails as a kid and "terrorized" me haha but they took good care of me... and my younger brother Arlo is possibly the most free spirited of all... he travels as much as possible, a true wanderer i call him... he worries me sometimes but I feel like things will fall into place for him as they did for me

 

my family wants love

 

We're kind of like a real-life episode of Jerry Springer.

 

Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately I can relate.

 

I once had to break up my mom and grandma because they were choking each other.

 

I don't think so.

And Anna Karenina is overrated.

 

Extended family, large and loud. But I love them regardless.

 

Small. Aunts and cousins and grandparents are all in New York but we don't speak much. Not because of any bad blood, they just kind of forget we're down here. Father's a deadbeat, sister's a leech on her new husband and moved to Maryland so now I don't get to see or talk to my nephew anymore (who I took care of for most of his young life). I send birthday cards to a ghost basically. It's mostly just me and my mom who I get along with famously now. She loves my girlfriend who I also consider family.

 

Who?

 

Thread title is a bit of a hint

 

Oh sorry! I completely misunderstood!

 

my family = Love

 

the only ones i consider family is my nieces and nephews they my whole world my mom and stepfather but im not really close to my brothers and sisters they always treated me like a outsider since i was 10 and thats okay im used to it i can love them from a distance

 

well lets see, both parents are long dead and my one older ( by a decade plus) sibling, is an extreme hypocrite that I avoid as much as possible which is pretty easy since they live on the other coast.
I have not spoken to any relative's in 20+ years

 

Would you ever consider contacting any of them?

 

not very likely

 

12 siblings, 5 brothers, 7 sisters. Didn't have much when young but we all love one another and the MANY nieces and nephew's get along.
Talk about differing personalities! I thought we were fucked up too when I was young but was wrong. I realized we raised each other and to this day when someone has a need we circle the wagons and help each other.
Stop whining about the difficulties of life and try to be the best person you can be.
