Now im talking about my close family (brother, sister, mom, dad, grandparents). Honestly the rest of my family I don't know very well.
But anyways....
My family is very close. I still live with my mom. Mainly because of the economy and technically our income makes us lower middle class. But I have no problems living with her. She and I have been close always. We get along really well and pretty much live as roommates. We fight sometimes. But its rare. Like 6 months apart arguments.
My sister lives two houses away and my brother lives two blocks away. We are always visiting each other. And the joke in our family is "we don't have any friends. We just have family".
My sister and I airn't the closest. Just two very different people. But I know she's there. My brother and I are best friends. I walk to his place all the time to hang out with him and his gf. He and I never fight....ever. Its pretty surprising because he can be a really aggressive/mean person to other people if they get him mad enough. But he pretty much raised me so I guess thats where I am different.
My mom spends lots of time hanging out at both their seperate houses as well. And is very close with them.
We are also the kind of family that no matter what. We always say "I love you" with our goodbyes. We have learned too many times that life can end so fast. And I would much rather if something happened to one of them that they know I love them. Because I do.
We are also fiercely protective of each other. Like lay down our lives for each other protective. Literally no questions asked.
When I was in high school. And even now. I have friends who think its so different and nice that we are all so close. I remember once I was on the phone with my mom and before we hung up she said "love you" and I said it back.
My friend looked kinda shocked. And said "Aww thats so sweet your mom said she loves you". And I told her that "yeah she does all the time". My friend then went on to tell me its very rare to hear those words from her parents. And she's not the only one to tell me this.
I know so many people who can't stand their family. Don't want to be around them. Don't want to talk to them.
I don't know what I would do without my family.
If I never saw them again. I would probley lose it.
But I have noticed with all my friends. It is not so. They can't stand their families. Hate being around them. No loyalty nothing. And I have been told on a few occasions that my family is too close, gets along too well, and its weird.
And I get it, broken abusive homes.
But I grew up in that same way. I guess because of all the chaos instead of attacking each other my siblings, mom, and I just clung to each other. I don't know why it was different for us. I guess because we were raised to never judge each other. My mom always taught us that family doesent bully or judge family. Your family is supposed to be the people you can go to with anything and they will listen and help you.
