Is it wrong/normal to feel disconnected from your parents/other immediate family members with whom you've have tentative relationships with?

I think it's natural as we progress & grow in life to become distant from people we were once very close to.

All individuals are unique, each with their own mindsets, morals, and values developed over time. Throughout our childhood, we are taught and nourished by our parents, all the information we receive and the things we are taught come from them. However, as children grow older, they become more independent as they develop their own opinions and thoughts, feelings, and personalities, which can often conflict with their parents or relatives resulting in individuals growing apart - This is OK, this is normal! We are all trying to become our best selves and do what corresponds with OUR beliefs and values, so if other people do not concur and this potentially causes issues, it is up to us to place our differences aside and love and cherish the family that we are extremely lucky to have. But, just know, becoming your own person is more than ok, and feeling disconnected or separated from loved ones is a part of the process in which we will eventually thrive, and our associates will learn to understand our independent thoughts and beliefs as OUR own, not ones that are being enforced upon us. So NO, it is not wrong, nor abnormal, rather just a part of life experienced by many.

I think by using the words normal or wrong implies that there is a proper or correct way of relating to your parents/family members. Family dynamics can vary greatly from household to household, and each person has their own unique experiences. Despite not knowing your full situation, I can say that I do relate to that feeling of disconnectedness from family. I think that there can be a tendency to think that because biological family is blood-related, that it is "thicker than water." However, I believe that you can feel more connected to others like your friends, a significant other, or even a mentor/guardian figure in your life.

It is not wrong to feel this way as emotions are personal and should be validated. It's normal to have fluctuating feelings with family members, so I would not say this it is incorrect to feel this way. I would say the most important thing is to recognize why you are feeling this way. Based on your answer, ask yourself if you want to change the way that you are feeling. If yes, try to build stronger connection with your family by doing the activities that you like together. For example, maybe if you like monopoly, have a game night to feel more connected.
