re: Why do people put up with family drama?

There are no singular, absolute, hard and fast rules that apply for every single person on the planet. So no, you don’t just have to put up with every manor of imaginable shittyness.

But to assert that there is no reason to put up with an imperfect family aside from a large inheritance displays a fundamental misunderstanding of who people are. Even bickering families add a huge amount of value to most people’s lives, so cutting them off cold turkey is rarely advisable. And I’d venture an educated guess that most people who do end up regretting it. That’s what I’m telling you.

Define “terrible person” though. And no, you don’t just walk away from that. Your parents didn’t just walk away from you when you were a rebellious teenager did they?

All teens are rebellious. Not all families have toxic elements. I appreciate your responses. That’s all I wanted to know. I wanted insight into the mind of people who put up with drama instead of cutting the anchors that drown you.

No need for further discourse.

Because they are still your family
