I Like My Boyfriend's Family More Than Mine
I was nervous to meet my boyfriend's family at first but I did a few months ago and they rock. They are so supportive and loving. My family is not. My mom has some psychiatric issues that she has since taken care of but I still don't forgive her for my awful childhood. My dad's alright but he disaproves of my choices and I know it. I like my boyfriend's family more than mine and it really depresses me. Maybe this is because I never had to live with them so I only see their good side. I really don't know. Normal or not?
Do you think it's normal?

i think this is perfectly normal, because you are using the other family as a kind of substitute, because they have qualities that you wish you family had

Normal - just because you like things about your bf's family - or anyone else's family - doesn't mean you have to feel guilty about your own family's short-comings. We don't get to choose the family we are born to, but we get choices later on, thank goodness. Try to accept both your good & bad luck. On the latter - you can't entirely help how you felt about being mistreated earlier, or your dad's current negativity. I'm glad for you that some good things are coming your way. You deserve it.
