Relatives aren't any better than any other person, unless they've proven to be first. You can choose your own family at any time and you can choose to have nothing to do with your relatives as well. I get really annoyed that people will put up with negativity from people just because they're related. That's no excuse and you owe no one. As Erin has mentioned, mistakes can be made and you can be born into the wrong family.
On the other hand, if someone has a good family, they should truly honor and respect the relationships, instead of taking them for granted which many seem to do.
