I have the typical dysfunctional family. No one really gives a hoot about the other and no one ever has anything good to say about another. My family is very good at bringing up every mistake you have ever made in your life to put you down and make you feel worthless and stupid.
My parents, (may they RIP,) raised us all in a God-fearing Christian home with morals and values, but somewhere along the line most of my family has lost them.
To answer your question what does family mean to me? I can't as I have no answer. Are we close? At times, we are too close for comfort and other times we are worlds apart.

Family means the fucking world to me...unless you're the trash part of my family.

I'm not. Falling out over the years.

We are not as close as we once were. My grandma was the glue and she passed years ago. However family is everything and I know if we needed each other there would be nothing to stop us from being there for each other.

I hope I never see them again. Oceans apart is the distance I would like from them.

My family means everything to me. I love them more than I love myself--we're extremely close.

It's strange how you go away but then we all come back... Loving how it's coming together finally.

I like them most at a safe distance:)

My daughter is my world. My other family can drop dead

eh. some of them are cool but as a whole i don't like my family.

Family over everything.

They are everything to me
