I have a really close friend who was my best man who is again in a similar situation. We talk for about an hour every night.
Point being, talk to people about anything. Listen to others talk to you. Sometimes things work themselves out better when you say them out loud you realize “damn, that’s dumb to stress over”.
I have an extremely close relationship with my dad. He’s always my first call anytime I have any issue or good news or questions.

That's really good.
I have a buddy that we vent to each other about with those understandings. I'm a customer of his though, so on a couple issues we tread a little lightly, but as long as we both understand that these are our livelihoods it won't ever be a problem.

Largely yeah, but families change the dynamic. My brothers fat bitch wife (I'm speculating obviously) got that advice from a marriage counselor and promptly divorced my brother.
I guess it wouldn't be exclusively limited to families. You have to be you, but you can't just be an asshole to everyone that's not you.
