“Family should never turn against family”
Families assist in your development over the lifespan. No matter what the situation is, your family is always there to support you through your journey. Though, just because they stick by your side, does not mean it is in a positive manner. It may mean they are just doing their job, following the rest of society to create an image of the perfect family, which may never exist. Though in order to maintain a healthy family, you must respect their beliefs and values.
The main issue in family relationships is support. Each member of the family has a different persona, a different way of life, which sometimes one may not agree with. The idea of a family is to accept each other and not expect change to suit your desires. Most families deal with support issues. Supporting something because of the way one feels strongly towards, is essential for a healthy family relationship. For example, if you are the father of a son that comes out of the closet and admits he has developed feelings for other men, and you do not support these decisions, it will affect their intellectual emotional and social development for life and not feel accepted in the family. An example in Montana could be that Frank turned against his whole family without even meaning to, and they are left expected to carry on as before. Nothing will ever be the same again in the Hayden family.
Family has to obey family. From the choices that are made, to their individuality, they are all aspects that make up their personality and who they are today, someone which you promise/d to love unconditionally. The paths that are taken in their life, do not affect the life you live, and should not change who you are in any way because although you are blood related and somehow connected, everyone is different and is worthy of a bit of leeway in their personal decisions
