Wow, I'm sorry to hear that Paul. If it makes you feel better, no one really likes their family (or very few people). There's usually a few people that stand out in your family that you care deeply for but the rest can up and fall off the face of the earth, at least that's how it is with me.
It'll be interesting to see how our children treat us when they reach adulthood. Parenting style has really changed from that of 20 or more years ago. The level of caring is still there, it's just the physical aspect of it has toned way down and disappeared in many instances while the obvious signs of affection and comfort words has increased.
