In my own experience being raised by two boomer parents and all sorts of mental health issues what I noticed about them is they were taught to put up with abuse and neglect from their family no matter what just because "they're family" and not just in my own family i realized a lot of generations from gen x and boomers does this as well tolerate and please people just because "they're family" even though some of them are toxic assholes even in society if you tell people that don't have toxic family members most of them 99% of them will respond to you by "but you only have one family" "they're still your family at the end of the day" like I hope we as a society see family members as people if we remove the relation(father mother brother sister etc..) would you still be around them? Just venting because it's normalised to put up with toxic family relationships (father, mother, brother, sister, etc.). Would you still be around them? Just venting because it's normalised to put up with toxic family
