Will I ever be close with my family?

2016-04-08 3:05 pm
I'm the third oldest of 5 siblings. We're kinda a dysfunctional family meaning we've been through a lot as a family. We're doing well now. When my oldest brother got into deep trouble, (he still has his own issues, attitude problem, baby mama drama, etc.) we all struggled with it and we moved a lot, however now years later I don't have a relationship with my older brothers (we all still live together as a family) but that's it.

I feel like everyone is super different and individual in their own way and together, well it just doesn't mix well. None of us have a simple conversation, just hey whats for dinner or something random. Us 5 still fight like siblings though, but if we didn't live together, they would feel like strangers to me. I hate this. I hate how we all live together and supposed to be a family but instead we all literally feel oblivious to one another. We were close when we were kids but now its just everyone does their own thing. How can I change this??

anything is possible, maybe you should talk to your family and tell them how you feel about all this

Many families are dysfunctional. You and your family have been through a lot, but you all still love each other. Your siblings are individuals. They may not like some things that interest you. You all should spend time together. Do you and your family sit at a table--and eat dinner? If not, you all should do this. You and your family will be together, and you can start a conversation. Sometimes, you can have a family picnic. You will always have memories of your times together.

You just have to show your family that love and happiness is possible. Be the change you want to see. Embody that of which you want to become.
Love is so easy to practice.
All it takes is simple gestures. Because people notice by actions not words.
I know it sucks, I've been in a similar situation.
But you just have to literally be yourself.
Become successful in your own way.
Just radiate positivity and happiness and they will see that, and will eventually want to join you on that path of just living life to its fullest.
Being the master of acceptance.

And if they dont, you have to understand that you can't make people want anything. They have to want it on their own. All you can do is be the example. Just because they are blood doesn't mean the they are truly family unfortuantely. Some people you just have to love from a distance because it doesn't help you progress as a person to carry that weight. You'll find people to call family if you vibrate the right frequency.
