Unless the family is abusive or neglectful, that bond tends to be stronger than friendship. Maybe the problem is that you aren't very close to your family and you want someone to share those issues with.
That's basically it. I'm not so close to my family. I live with my mom and dad, and I have a younger brother. I have aunts, uncles, and cousins who visit me like every other week and it's no big deal for me because I see them all the time. Now if it was a relative visiting me from my country whom I have not seen in ages, then yeah that would be a big deal for me because I have not seen them in so long. But yeah you pretty much summed it up, I'm not that close with my family. I guess it's because some of my family members like to gossip about others all the time which is so annoying. I even have some family members who can't keep a secret so socializing with them is totally out of the question.
Is it normal for friends to always put family ahead of you?
