They are the ones that take the time to really understand us and help us through our bad mistakes. They help us be successful in all areas of our life. They give us an example that we can use to start and build our own families as we mature. When you need help, they are always the ones you can turn to. A good family is your most valuable possession. There are also bad families that seem to be squabbling about personal things constantly. Bad families get involved in whispering rumors, half-truths, embellishments, outright lies, and secrets to each other just before they have a lot of drama. Your business becomes their business whether you want it to be or not. If you turn to them, out of desperation, in times of trouble, they rarely offer any help, but, instead, use the information that you give them to talk behind your back and belittle you. If they do help you, they make you pay, somehow. They rarely follow through with any help that they offer, but are more preoccupied with making each other look bad in front of the others. You can't whisper a personal secret while looking for advice or just conversation about a problem you might be having, because, in bad families, there is no confidence. If you do well at something, instead of celebrating with you, you are met with envy and attempts to lessen your accomplishment. Usually, this bad behavior is learned from one of the parents and passed down from generation to generation. For all of the emotional turmoil and suffering that is created, in the end, it really doesn't matter what they say or think. If you are part of or somehow otherwise involved in a family like this, you can only limit your contact, refuse to be drawn into their squabbles and treachery, and try to break the string so that your children will take your example and create good families of their own.
This is not to say that good families don't argue, but their arguments are not about personal issues, and, as a result, their arguments don't become personal. They argue about politics, religion, sports, cars, investments, and other public matters that don't leave them hating each other, no matter how angry they get, at the end of the argument. They are quick to apologize for becoming so animated during their arguments and forgive those who do. No matter how much you argue, you know that your family will be on your side in times of trouble.
In good families, you can take a personal matter to a selected family member for advice and it will remain between the two of you, or if one family member learns something that should concern you, they tell you, without getting everyone else involved, and offer their help. If your brother or sister, for instance, somehow learns that one of your children is doing drugs or drinking too much, they tell you and do not share the information with other family members. They respect your privacy and realize that this is your business only and only for you to share. They also know that, when you are dealing with a problem, you don't need any additional aggravation.
When you have a good family, they will support you in everything that you try to do. If you go into the business of harvesting and selling weeds, they will help you try to sell weeds instead of criticizing you for your ambition. If you are successful, they congratulate you, celebrate with you, and give you all of the credit. You are much more likely to be successful at whatever you decide to do as a result. If you are blessed enough to have a good family, make sure that you pass it on to your children.
