When family are close and supportive I'm sure it's the best, but when they are awful, bitch behind your back and are generally toxic it's the worst! Especially when it's your parents.
I always feel like the only people to truly love someone is a parent. Partners come and go, even siblings sometimes don't get along. But when it's your parents that don't care about you, nothing is as awful as that.
Second to that is the betrayal from siblings, who it seems sometimes you can never escape the rivalry, so much so that there is no love or care anymore. Just resentment.
I think I just drew the short straw when it comes to family.
My inlaws don't like me either, my MIL says horrid things to me, no matter how hard I try to get on with her. But I know she would do anything for her son. I saw them in a new light when BIL broke up with his girlfriend, who they did like. They said horrible things about her after , wanted her gone asap.
My husband has that comfort of someone always being on his side.
Then again, my kids love me. It's so unusual for me to have that unconditional love from them. But I don't trust it, like one day they all hate me too.
