r/EstrangedAdultKids on Reddit: Cringe when people say “family is everything”
May 30, 2023 -
Happened recently and just made me wince.
It’s only true when you have an actually supportive, caring family. I wish my family could have been my everything.
I wish people wouldn’t make comments like this. It just sucks for people like us that have to cut off our toxic family members.
That’s all. I just wish people would consider how insensitive it is to throw around general comments like that.

I think most people say this and mean well, but it's not comforting in the way they think it is. Much like telling a woman who just lost her pregnancy that she can "try again later" - yeah, sure, that's true, but it fails to recognize THIS lost and what SHOULD have been. We KNOW family is everything; that's why it's so sh*tty that we came to be estranged in the first place.

Similarly when people talk to homeless people ask why dont they get help from their family. Dude the reason why they are homeless is because of family.
People who say "Family First" or "Family Is Everything" almost always have the most fucked up family dynamics.
You mean people who post that shit on facebook, along with minion memes about being proud to be a bitch and stuff like that.

January 19, 2015Do any of who feel like family isn't that important?
"The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb".
Just because you share blood relation with someone doesn't mean they're your family; your family is who you make of it.

January 14, 2013I think family is such an overrated concept.
Yeah. As an adult, I've made relations with non-family who have felt so much more close than my actual blood-related relatives.
It doesn't help that in so many areas of society, there is this constant theme/message that family is everything. That no matter what happens, "you'll always have family" even if they treat you like nothing.

Fuck blood family. All mine are horrible ass toxic people. My family are the people who have been there for me through everything. My bestfriend and his family, my girlfriend and her family. My blood hasn't done shit for me except continue to be a thorn in my ass. I'm just waiting for them to die.

Family Is Everything - This I Believe
August 25, 2010 - Family is important, they are the ones who truly love us and would do anything for us. Where would we be without the people that we love? We would probably be lost and confused about everything and not knowing how it feels to be loved. We should count on family to guide us through life and be there for us through everything; to be our backbone through the good and the bad times.

April 17, 2021 - I always felt like a failure when I was growing-up with people saying ‘family is everything’ because I always saw the world differently to mine. If I took that phrase literally, that family was the be all and end all of everything, it would’ve hindered my personal growth.
