Yes and family members are the most important of those. The most challenging and potentially rewarding.

  This is not always true. My family is toxic due to generations of emotional neglect. None of them know how to form or maintain even somewhat beneficial relationships with others. I have walked back from fully cutting them off, but they have too many issues for me to spend time attempting to form a meaningful connection with them.

    Sometimes we do need to set boundaries for safety. I've written more at my web site (in profile, nothing for sale, tech-simple), about having peace and hope when things are hard. There are opportunities to build good things and have joy. All the best to you! (ps to anyone: thoughtful comments appreciated with any downvotes)
