Do guys care if their girlfriend isn't close with her mother and doesn't have strong family ties?

I have five people in my family; my two parents, two older sisters, and I.

My older sister and I haven't spoken in a while over a bad argument. We're both being too prideful to apologize.

My second oldest sister and I have no relationship at all what so ever. We haven't spoken in about three years now. It's not just me, my older sister and father don't speak to her either. She is a grade-A, selfish, fake, manipulative, conniving, over emotional b I t c h and it repelled the people who should matter most.

I haven't spoken to my mother in about a year and a month. She left right before I turned 18. I came home to a big, empty house where she had taken everything; photo albums, expensive furniture that my dad helped pay for, and just overall so much of my childhood. I understand growing apart after being with someone for decades, but the way she left was so messed up. Then she acted like she was some abuse victim which she was not at all. She was so dramatic and spiteful about it refusing to give her address yet wanting to drop by at any time. It's clear that she wanted to be hurtful with the way that she left, but it backfired because I didn't go crying to her to come back, I just ignored calls her for a year. Her birthday is tomorrow.

My father and I are so close. I love him so much and I appreciate him more than I can show with words.

I realize that he's not always going to be here and one day he's going to die and it's gonna be really hard because I feel like he's the only family I have. I have family outside of state but we're not close and I don't talk to any of them. I hate the division among my family and it really hurts especially like when I see girls with their mothers and huge families out at restaurants together. It's really upsetting and I cry about it a lot. I would love to have that close, tight family that spends a ton of time together but I just don't. I was wondering if this would bother some guys. I dated a guy who said "I actually like it when girls live at home instead of on campus because they're closer to their family" he just assumed that was the case, little did he know I was living at home with just my dad :( he had a really close family bond though so that may have had something to do with it. Anyway, there are a lot of people like me out there who for whatever reason, have a broken family. I was just wondering if it's a turn off? What do guys think about that?
