Love them as people...from a distance.

Love them unconditionally.

No advice but feel for you. I ended up being the odd one out in my family. Had to leverage a couple of mental and emotional tricks to cope. 😮‍💨

I know this feel.

Yur family is probably fine and your perspective is wrong. Here's why: When humanity moves forward, prior generations, and those with old mindsets will always appear to be backwards to the "pioneers" (credit nostr:nprofile1qqs2dg3dtrdkwz0gr3t3wenahm3dmwkzy3y9whdtlyh5kvxxacgjnugpzamhxue69uhky6t5vdhkj...

Make sure you develop a strong and compassionate relationship with yourself so you can be strong and compassionate with them. That might mean creating rigid boundaries and/or distance. Surround yourself more closely with likeminded people.

Go find your true family. 🫂💜

Other family member’s choices can be very hard to watch .. be the example, and especially to their kids who will think on their “different” Uncle/cousin, and maybe come to you for advice

I didn't realize we were related.

Love them. Doesn’t mean you let them zap your energy. Get your energy zaps here and in other positive places. Don’t envy. It’s not always as rosy as it looks sometimes. Let’s go!

Start over. Make a new family.

Ditto

If they ask for advice don't bother giving it. Just tell them that it sounds like their situation sucks. From what I've gathered in your comments it sounds like they want validation not advice. Or just cut them off completely if you hold no connection or love for them. You don't have to keep toxic p...

Leave them, after you’ve given them ample opportunity to change, or accommodate your own beliefs. Cut them out of your life and focus on your own family.

Love them. Carry on with your journey . I have family and friends like yours. Let them reach out to you. They are not ready.

Be the master of your domain

Celebrate what makes them happy. If someone is excited about a new vehicle that you think is a foolish financial decision say, “I’m glad you’re excited about your car, I hope you have a blast driving it!” Be known as the happy guy that is happy for others. If they have specific question...

Funny/sad that this post assumes non of them are ever going to read this :D

Contact and interact with them at the bare minimum to preserve your sanity.

Love them for who they are, and who they are not. Be there for them.

It's not easy, but remind yourself that it's not necessarily your place to "do" anything. Try to stay ready to provide the support that you can if/when they are genuinely interested in helping themselves.

Honor your parents!

Pray for them and set a good example. I've been surprised at how much those two things affect friends and family over the long term.

I usually keep interactions to a minimum with those types. My family is so huge I can pick and choose. Guess that's one advantage to having big families. We all average around 8 kids each. Everyone. Brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins. Generation after generation.

Im thinking bad gene pool.

Were they caring and loving parents to you?

Ditch, like I did.

Then I had no choice but to work hard to earn money and gain a voice in my own home! My family was very poor back then, so I worked tirelessly to make ends meet. When I finally had some savings to spare, I bought a used yacht. This purchase gave me the courage to break free from my family of origin....

they are your greatest motivation and thus most priceless asset, are they not?
