I guess I'd say I like my family. I TOTALLY respect my grandpa and found my grandma very honorable when she was alive. My parents are good people who enjoy helping others and are very loving. My mother is co-dependant, my dad went through a long time where he was suicidal and has been emotionally and mentally unstable most of my teen years. He has since gotten a much better handle on reality and I relate to him well. My brother has a violent history but after only once fighting with me he has learned to respect me and doesn't cross that line now. I guess you could say it's a tense affection for my family. I'm fairly close I guess despite their problems. I am on the guard against their turns in emotion that can be volatile, depressing, or intrusive. I doubt anyone can claim perfect parents. Mine have enough redeeming qualities to be likeable. My husband nearly avoided the alter with me because he discovered what my family was like. He has since developed a tentative repore with my family.
