Personally I'm limited emotionally in this area because I can't love someone if I can't respect them. I'm really glad that you have the feelings you do toward your family because it shows how strong of a person you are. Sadly I'm not that way and have little desire to change that trait.
Another thing you may want to keep in mind is that you make reference to the fact that your past hasn't affected you in any way. I'm not sure how that's possible because for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. There's only so much a person can absorb before the energy has to be expelled. It will be very interesting indeed to see if you feel the same way in 10, 15 or even 20 years as you do today. If you do, fantastic!
