Well besides the immediate family I live with, everyone is kind of scattered all across the place, so it's kind of hard to be too terribly close with anyone on that note. I do really like my grandmother from my Dad's side, though. She's awesome. It's too bad she lives so far away.
My Dad works for the army, and his job requires him to go on business trips. I've always gotten along with him perfectly fine. I like having discussions with him about politics and the economy. And our sense of humor is pretty similar. It's a nice ENTJ-INTP relationship. However, I think being so used to him leaving all the time caused me to become pretty independent. I'm sure this is why I tend to not get homesick easy and to be okay with not seeing people in general for long periods of time.
My Mom I have problems with (not to her current knowledge) because of they way she raised me. To keep it short, she would yell at me whenever I did something wrong in her eyes, anywhere from getting bad grades to leaving a cup on the table. She's the kind of person who always has to be right in an argument. When I was young, I learned to swallow my pride and never stand up for myself with her, because doing so would end up with me obtaining a harsher punishment, no matter if I was right or wrong. She never solved a problem, but only gave me the cold feelings of guilt and low self-worth by putting me down and playing the victim card. However, I will say she's gotten better, and we don't fight all that much anymore. Even though we get along okay now, I still can't help but have some hostility towards the way she handles situations.
I used to not get along with my brother at all. Spending too much time with him would always result in a fight. I eventually decided to stop hanging out with him altogether. Perhaps space was what we needed, because after sequestering ourselves from each other, we broke down the barrier, and we get along really well now. He's an ENFJ, so conversations with him are usually interesting, since we think on such different planes. I like his sense of humor, and he can be pretty sweet and thoughtful. All that mushy stuff that comes with feelers.
So basically, I wasn't really close with anyone in my youth. I would say that I'm pretty close with my brother now. I'm cool with my Dad, but I wouldn't say I'm super close with him. And I don't consider myself that close with my Mom. I do care about all of them, and if they ever were in need or anything like that, I would definitely help them out in whatever way I could. When it comes to socializing with them, I don't think I'd go out of my way to hang out with my parents and spend quality time with them unless I hadn't hung out with them for a long period of time, but then again, that might just be part of my personality; I rarely initiate these kinds of things. I usually invite my brother to hang out if I'm doing anything, though. I dunno. I think I'm pretty independent, and I can lock myself in my room away from them for long periods of time, but in the end, they're still my family, and I'll be there for them when they need me.
