This is one area that I've always been quite confused about. I'm not sure why I've grown up without such a thing but I've never seen the reason for such strong ties to other selves purely based on a biological relation. I often wonder if this is an area that needs learning or now that I've become aware of the greater unity with all that I've always somehow realized the inherent connection thus never saw a difference between a family member and a stranger.
The flip side is that I wonder if I truly know what love is but I know I've loved partners in indescribable ways. The connection that I liken to these partnerships is not only romantic but a deep knowing of the bond and it seems that the latter half if how many people describe their bond with family members yet the only times I've felt that was with my grandparents as they primarily were there while my mother worked during my earliest few years. I wonder if I established this parental bond with them which would explain my disconnection with my parents but doesn't explain my disconnection with my siblings or any other relative.
Does anyone else share this seemingly odd lack of bond with family?
