Not very healthy Steve.I wish genie would have convinced my ex of this
She lives & breathes her family's every word
Never had a problem with her being close to her family (9 brothers & sisters and a ton of nieces & nephews) but most of the time she treated them as #1 over her family at home (Me and the kids)
The family will always be your family no matter what, to give them moral, and financial support is part of that connection but then.. everything changes once you build your own family. Once you marry and build your own, you should consider them as your top priority already.
But everything really happens for a reason and I hope you're doing more better now.
