It's not you...it's your family
Ok one of my guy pals/readers of my blog reached out to me with a really good question. Can a person's family be a deal breaker?
His specific question was: Is not having a "normal" family a deal breaker? (e.g., siblings with a prison record that can never be around your children unsupervised...alcoholic parent...that type of stuff)
Some folks answered with the following:
I think a family can be a deal breaker based on how much input and interference they have in your home/relationship. Some people do not know how to let family go or to prioritize their family/relationship with you. However, you have to be open to people and who they are, versus who they are related to by blood. The apple may not fall far from the tree... but you could pluck the one good apple off the branches.
What do y'all think?
