Yeah man, you gotta get your friends back.
I had to go down that road a few times, where i don't even feel good about it, but i knew if my boy was fighting i was fighting.
As for family, fukk that shyt. Just cause you're blood don't mean a thing, i got an alcoholic brother who`ll sneak punch dudes for no fukking reason, i`m not fighting for his ass. I won't let him get stomped/beat down, but if he pulls that shyt i`m not getting involved. I don't even talk to the dude because he done so much foul shyt, but that whole "it's family" shyt is over-rated.
Family will gut you and leave you laying, i got friends that been there 10000x more than some family members.
