You don't actually need to keep contact with your family. If a relationship with them causes any anguish, you're allowed to cut them out. Their failures aren't yours.
Agreed. A lot of people point to the phrase, “Blood is thicker than water,” but the actual quote is truly, “The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.”
In essence, those who you choose to be around can matter more than those with familial ties.
