It does not matter. Family is not necessarily important, that is actually a religious/historical meme. It has no foundation other that comfort meme. Just like religion. It is a comfort and consolation meme, nothing more. In historical time, that may not have been true, but it is now and where we live. It has been only a 120 years since electricity became useful, instant communication over distance became possible, and we were forced to deal with so much more each day, as we had little travel time to consider the last conversation.
The same level of comfort is available in knowledge based philosophy, but it is more work, effort, understanding, planning, utilizing correct understanding or the world. It is more work, but truth and knowledge and evidence based.
Everyone really has the choice once they realize it. It may be a balance between comfortable survival, comfort or survival. I use economics and survival in the same sense, as the Maslow's needs sense of survival and safety, where we are stuck in a religious cult as a child, where survival requires that we do, not necessarily believe, but not oppose the believers. Yes, look back from outside, I was raised in a religious cult, and many of my relatives are still in that cult, whether they realize it or not. Oh well, it is their lives.
Now ethics and morality, as viewed from the religious live is bullshit. There is no understanding nor applying the fundamental underlying principal of truth, honest analysis of what is virtue, or what virtues should be followed, or anything beyond following authority. Life within the cult is abusive, as see from outside and after. Oh well, it is over.

PLEASE ADD YOUR MEMORY'S OF THESE EVENTS. Memories are important, and history is told by the survivors, with their biases.
