Family Disconnection that I Witness....

Hello everyone, how are you all doing today? I just wanted to talk about something that once in a while has me wondering... but as time passes by, a lot of my family members from my same generation are slowly seperating from me.

For example, I have a couple of cousins living in California with their own house and career. A couple in the military, some going to other parts of the states searching for a stable job... all because Puerto Rico... where I live has barely job opportunities for most people. Fortunately for me, I was able to find a job within the island.

I feel isolated from family members cause most of them never even contacts me anymore... so I have almost no motivation to contact them either. I do live with my mom and dad still and once in a while, we talk but of course... even I blame myself for this, we are all isolated in our rooms, I am on my computer, dad on his TV and mom on her phone. Nothing wrong with that, regardless we do find time to talk sometimes as a family and it does have its great values.

But what I am really sad about is that I see my closest handful of friends who contacts me always as brothers and sisters I never had... in other words, more like my family... than my family in blood.

Only 1 out of like 10-15 cousins I have actually contacts me and see how I am doing. The rest are focused on themselves and many other families like that.

The family values sure has downgraded a lot in the technology era we are all in.. where we all have to focus on making money to live rather than family bonds and helping each others. Its like that with most families in America and Puerto Rico.

And in my church, and yes, they are also considered as my family members too, I remember back in 2001 when I was 13, there were many young people coming in and kids my age bonding with families and going together with church.

But the reality is that most of the people in my generation are there because they had to, not cause they want to. Once they were old enough, they stop coming to church and seperate themselves slowly from families and often making the wrong decisions in life. I believe a lot of American media and influence has a lot to do with this...

People are all out for themselves and they do not care of the values of other people as much cause money and careers can make a person that way. I also fall into this too cause I often like to focus on myself than with most family members that does not care for me besides my parents, an uncle, aunt and a cousin of mines. No one else in my family looks for me. So you can understand how I feel sometimes.

Always good to keep close to your family members that supports you. I support my mom and dad in anyways I can regardless of my situation. And helped my cousin who looks out for me.
