WO is better because it's family. It has a ridiculous preponderance of weird uncles, but it's still family.
My experience with family is a bit different.
Blood doesn't matter.
I've disinherited family from my estate.
Even family can be absolute garbage human.
I hear ya bro.
With my SO, we are at a point where we're about to completely disassociate from her family. Perhaps forever, or at least only see them rarely once every few years.
They are the worst people. A bunch of narcissists that only care about themselves. They never inquire about other people, only brag about themselves constantly. They are somewhat educated but are poor, don't have a pot to piss in. Only admire people with credentials and academics. They also have bent views of politics and the world...aka delusional. And they are a bunch of Communists.
We just got back from a family visitation not too long ago, and started to really question whether going out of our way to visit them anymore was good for our mental health and time spent.
