Once upon a time I did. My brother and I were loved very much by our parents. We spent holidays at our grandparents house, and although we weren't rich we felt lucky. Then when I was 16 and my brother was 12 my parents divorced. Thought the grass would be greener on the other side. That's when things went straight to hell. Our mother expected 100% loyalty and did her best to turn us against our father, even though she left him. That was over 15 years ago.
Today I am married, have twin girls, and my wife's family is very close with us. My mother has made it clear that if we invite my father and his wife to any event we host, not to even bother inviting her. So we don't. Despite living just 15 miles away I see her maybe once every few months or so. And it sucks. It sucks to think how close we all were when I was growing up, and to see how things are now. I've tried my best to change it, but there are some things you just can't change. I've learned to accept it, and instead I focus on my own family. Hoping to NEVER make the same mistakes with them that my parents made with me and my brother.

Honestly, no. I can count on my mom sometimes, but I don't even talk to the rest of them (not because I am mad at them, but because they stopped talking to me when my parents divorced 24 years ago). Most of my mom's side is deceased and the ones that aren't live hours away. My husbands family is around, but they are always asking for money or jobs (he has his own business) and he's the asshole if he doesn't come through for them. I think we would be better off if we moved to Mars sometimes.
My husband and our kids are very loving towards each other, so hopefully we can break the cycle.

I think we're closer than most families, and I'm thrilled to be marrying a man who is also very close to his extended family. Not very many people regularly do things with their cousins, neices, aunts, etc...but we do.

Yes, I do...but it took a lot of work to create it...it doesn't just happen. There's a lot of patience, forgiveness, creativity, goint to church together, short vacations, long vacations, tradition, and eating meals together that contributed to it. I hope you have one, too!
