Do I have to have love towards my family?

[Androm]

Not every family structure is the same. I can't love, I don't have the slightest sense of mercy, they consumed it when I was a kid. Aa, I'm normally a merciful person.

[Nomina]

I think so, yes. I do consider family to be extremely important, even when they're difficult and horrible. I can be difficult too and they still love me. As for past hurts, they affect us as long as we hang on to them.
I have past family hurts that it seems sometimes, I have to continuously work through everyday, every moment. And yeah, that's just what needs to be done. It gets tiring sometimes or then there are easy times, but that's life. We can't always blame people for how we choose to be today. I do think it's a choice.

A friend told me a long time ago that love isn't always about emotions and feelings but acts. You may not feel it but at least you have to do it. I have a family member that I don't like very much, but I know that no matter what I feel, they're family, you love them... act as if. So I deliberately figure out what I would do for them if I liked them; if it were another family member that I liked, whatever I would do for them, I do it for the one I don't like.

Well it's up to you buuut that's the thing. Blood family- you should. Family you made yourself- you don't have to.

[AmeerX]

I know how you feel. I had happy relation with my siblings but I feel it is torn apart.

No, just don't hate them but you can just remember they are your blood relations. Just be kind to them but don't bother trying to make them how you want them to be.

As to your parents, love them even if they are wrong. Obey them but remember to follow your heart if it is about a Lover. Apart from that you don't have to love them.

I learned it the hard way. Your words are important but what good are you to them if they don't really value you
