Totally agree. I was raised by my mother and my aunt.Liberals, solely governed by hyper emotionas and victimization will find great venting opportunity in this thread
When you reach 60+ youve been through a lot of front line family and friends deaths
Grandparents, parents, brothers and sisters, children and spouses.
Aunts uncles cousins and in laws just not the same thing.
Who are you to say? Perhaps YOUR aunts, uncles and inlaws are not as valued, but don't put it out there as fact for everyone.
I'm amazed anyone could even think along those lines. Like there's a chart somewhere showing how much grief to spare on what type relationship.
I cried over the death of my uncle when I was seventeen but hardly cried over the Aunt that raised me.
And
When my biological mother died the following year after my uncle I did not even care.
That comes off harsh but I have my reasons why and a Auntie or Uncle can be as much like a parent or even more and the loss can be as hard or worst...
While it's a rule of thumb that people have closer relationships with those who are closer by blood, there are always exceptions based on humans being humans.
