So it seems that even when you are finished with the constant drama of high-school and friends who steal your boyfriends, there it still the constant bickering of a family you may or may not have ever really known. You can spend your entire life trying to impress a family that isn't really there. You can do anything in your power to make life easier for them, and go out of your way as much as you can. Spend thousands of dollars on your family and never get so much as a thank you.
Take into consideration here, that although you knew who these "family members" are, they may have never been there when you needed them before you go into an all out cry-fest. It is true that family is supposed to be the only thing you really have in the end, however, if they were never there to begin with, how can you put faith in them? Don't get angry. Don't bother yourself with the petty instigation's they throw your way, it isn't worth your struggle. The only thing they are doing is taking advantage of the fact that you are easy to either intimidate, or use to the fullest.
The other side here is that maybe you were the wayward one, and haven't been there for them. Everyone deserves a second chance, but how many chances have you had? And how many times have you let them down. So before you get upset in this case, make sure you remember all of this.
Family is supposed to stick together through thick and thin... but sometimes you have to make your own family, and sometimes, that is better than what you started with in the first place.
