My family has always been distant from eachother and I really don't like it. I feel like I'm missing out on the stability and support a family provides for most people. A quick run down of my family is thus, absentee father, dead mother, suicidal and social anxiety riden oldest brother, social anxiety riden and anger issues second to oldest brother, another brother who more or less cut off all communication with us and an ok and well adjusted older sister. Seriously feels like I'm fighting an up hill battle with these people. No desire to change it seems in my brothers and dad and I just feel caught in between some huge mess always with them. None of them like to leave the house and spend bonding time together and it's frustrating. Neither have any type of social life of their own. They do have positive attributes to them don't get me wrong and that's what I hate most is seeing so much untapped potential in them. I've been told by my brother that I can't change them and that's pretty much why he left but I don't want to give out hope on them.
That was more or less me venting but the real question is can I help them and if so what could work or am I better off just walking away? Anyone have experience fixing a broken family?
