Many people say our family is true friend ! Sometimes we hear abuse from close family member or a relative !!!! Doesn't that prove it wrong ... Family is only your best friend! Not others ...

I would have to agree and disagree..

I have a few close friends that are closer to me than my own siblings. And I have a close relationship with them.

I'm very close with a few co-workers. Like most people, we spend more time with people we work with than family.

I think it's debatable and depends on your family. For example, I don't think I would call someone a friend if they sat there and laughed while their boyfriend broke my arm, but there was a story in the paper a few years ago where a young mother did that to her 6 year old son and didn't even take him to the hospital for almost two days.

It depends. I have friends that are closer than family. And I have family that I consider, not so close. It depends on the family. I have native tribes that have accepted me as member of their tribe, which is family.

Many people say our family is true friend

Many people say we have a great president.
Many people say a lot of things.
Doesn't really matter what many people say.
What do you find true in your life?

Sometimes we hear abuse from close family member or a relative

Sometimes we hear about people bombing hospitals and orphanages.
People do bad things to each other.
Relationships don't offer magical protection against anything.
And there is no such animal as a human being that has never done anything to hurt another human being.

Doesn't that prove it wrong

Only if you want to see magical absolutes.

Family is only your best friend! Not others

Says who?
All I see is "many people say our family is true friend."
I don't see "our family is our only true friend and no one can ever come close and it's an immutable absolute for all eternity without exception."
