The actual saying is the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb. Family sucks sometimes and you didn’t choose your family, but you can choose to separate yourself from them.

Where do you feel like you need support? It’s okay if you can’t fully help yourself. Some scenarios require additional help.

Just don’t know your situation based on your vague post

Disappointing but liberating. Just remember their behavior next time they need you.

I think it depends on how important it is but, really, family should always be there.

Ask again. They might not have heard you the first time.

If they are unwilling or unable then go to friends. Often friends are better than family for some things

If it's in my personal life, I drop them as an acquaintance/friend. Professionally I try to make sure I don't work with them again.

You learn who is worth a damn and move on.
