Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Family should be people we can trust, our inherent love and support in the dastardly universe. Not being able to rely on family creates a whirlwind of internal emotional issues that aren't easily remedied. Trust should predicate upon family relations, and without this tether to your roots, it can be difficult to navigate adult relationships forever.
