great article! Most people don’t understand what it’s like to be raised by wolves. It’s not about love it’s about survival. It is about taking care of yourself without much help from others. If you’re lucky, you have someone in your life that shows you another way.

If some stranger was abusive and violent towards you I believe you would avoid that person. Being family isn’t a free “get out of jail” card.

Like any relationship, family has to be built on mutual respect. It is built through helping each other through good times and bad times. I love my abusive alcoholic parents but I don’t have a connection with them. I could never depend on them as a child. I had to learn how to tie a tie from my high school teacher at graduation. I still talk to them but it’s not something that I look forward to.

If you’re defensive about this article then maybe you’re not being totally honest with yourself. You may not agree with the comments but you do have to respect the writers experiences.

I’ve seen the movies and TV shows about what family is supposed to be. I hope to give my kids that experience but sometimes it like learning to speak another language.
