What’s family for?

What do I expect from my family relationships? Do I act out of duty with my family, or do I expect family members to affirm my identity? Should I feel slighted if my unique traits are belittled or ignored, and would that ever lead me to become estranged from my family?

Rather than generating excitement, telling people about his death and resurrection can seem like passing on old news.
