Closer to Family or Friends?

I grew up with my friends instead of my family. My family was all messed up. My parents lived together but they werent together. They really never payed attention to us kids. They were too caught up on themselves. So my three siblings and I hung out with my friends all the time for years and years. They protected me and my siblings. I consider my friends my family. How about you?

Sad to hear this, it is very seldom nowadays to see closely knit family . I have a good relationship with my family, same with my husband's whom I consider my family too. I just hope you are in the right company of friends who can fill the gap your parents have missed :)

friends and family both are very very important pasrt of ones life we cant live with out a family in the same way we even cant imagin a life without a friend 2 share our feeling but we should give them eqalt time neglecting dfamily ang going with friends alone is not a right thing i feel if u spend some time with ur family try 2 understand them try 2 solve their problems would b better just think of it ones am sorry if am wrong bye have a g8 day

Well I am closer to a couple friends than I am some members of my family but then I have a few family members that I honestly wouldn't know what to do without them. So for me I guess I kind of have both

i fell the same way buddy.. the thing is that friends are the ones with whom u can share all your emotions,feelings,etc coz they are more likely to understand u,because they know what problems u face,what u enjoy,etc.
