IbrahimSalihu:
Let me just say that the saying "Family is everything" is just a lie made by society to make us believe that we should stand by our family members regardless of their behaviour. So if a father sexually molests his daughter, is family is still everything? Is the family meant to ignore and hide the father's behaviour just because family is everything?

I've come across several stories where I read about unspeakable things family members do to each other and all I can say is that if my family does such, I'd definitely disown and distance myself from such family members. I read a story where a mother locked up her son in a cage for years and was torturing him. Then tomorrow they'll expect that boy to take care of his mother in her old age because family is everything!!! If na me, i no go send my mama in her old age!!! the PTSD from such trauma would be almost impossible to cure.

Please let us not be deceived by the saying that family is everything but rather, "reliable and responsible family members are everything" . Please share your opinion, would you allow your family members destroy your mental health because family is everything?

Oizee:
Family is everything to me but I will automatically disconnect myself from any part of my family that might be capable of inflicting harm on me.

I won't even take chances at all with them. If you are nice to me and later found out that you have an ulterior motives towards me I will run.
May we not have evil parents because I don't know what I'll be capable of doing to them if they intentionally harmed me.
