They've mellowed out a bit and I can see them a few times a year, but we'll never be close. It's very odd seeing my girlfriend's family be so close with each other, especially as they tend to get loud and argumentative, but still like each other a lot. It just confuses my brain.

Me and my brother are close though, and I have some good friends and a great girlfriend, so I have the family I want in a way. It's not the same, but I make it work.
