22 Stories Of When People Realized That Their Family Wasn’t Like Other Families
There is nothing like coming back home with the knowledge that you have a loving family waiting to welcome you with open hands and beautiful smiles. But the reality is that not everyone has this type of loving family waiting for them.
In fact, some people are not even excited about returning home because they know the type of family they have, whereas others miss home constantly and flee at the first opportunity they get. It’s quite saddening to see your friends rushing off home to see their families, all excited, but you’re just so sad to go home.
Or is it when you are invited by your friend to their home and you see how their family is so united? Then, in your quiet moments, you just keep wondering why your own family isn’t that way.
Well, it’s not your fault, and don’t let that make you a bitter person. No one’s family can either be one of these three things: either they are worse than the families you come across, better than them, or just like them.
Whichever it is, you only have one job, which is to make sure that your own future family is better than the one you came out of. A Redditor named u/Existing_Peach957 has asked the r/AskReddit community a question related to families, and their replies are quite baffling, but still relatable if you’re on that table.
