My family life sucks, and so do my relatives - how do I make it better?

A female , anonymous writes:

I know many people complain about their over-intrusive in-laws, but I have the complete opposite, a mother-in-law who just simply doesn't care. My husbands mother will probably forget my kids name (probably even mine) in a few years. I mean shes soo cold its unbelivable! How can you go through life so emotionally detached from your own family. I ask because I've seen some really close extended families (albeit only a few,unfortunately most extended families relationships aren't ideal) and I've always wanted a family like that. My own family isn't very close and I was hoping that I could get close to his, but his isn't either!

To make things worse my husband doesn't really spend much time with our daughter. His life is his work and thats pretty much it.

How do I get over this? My family relationships suck!!!
