You have heard the saying, we may not always have a say on who our family members are, but we can choose our friends. But where do family who are friends fall in the category of friendship?
Are expectations we put on family different from the ones we have for our friends? If so, is this okay?
We assume with age, we know how to do friendships, but I find it even more nuanced with layers of complexity that is quite hard to navigate, understand, and articulate. And one of those friendships that can be hard is ones we have with our families. Whether it’s with our siblings, cousins, or sister/brother-in-laws, how we navigate our family friendships can feel different than relationships we have with our non family members.
