Mom moves 13-year-old daughter away from her grandparents, aunts, and uncles to be closer to her husband's family, gets angry when she wants to move back after she turns 18: 'Mom said most teenagers would kill for the stuff they gave me since we moved'

Society is stringently designed around the nuclear family. This system makes it easy to treat families as economic units that are intrinsically tied together and emotionally bonded above all other bonds. Maintaining the nuclear family is difficult to do and often not beneficial for the members of said nucleus. Any child of parents who "stayed together for the kids" can tell you that they'd much rather their parents just got a divorce when they wanted one rather than maintaining appearances for outsiders while those inside the nuclear family were suffering.

Your parents and siblings are not inherently more important than your aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, or any other member of your family. Legally, parental and sibling relationships are given more weight, but that is a social construct at the end of the day. Whether an uncle is a random man that you see once every 7 years or a surrogate father wholly depends on your family

A lot of parents go wrong when they try to create a nuclear family out of two non-nuclear families. You can't create a parental and sibling bond out of thin air, but unfortunately a lot of parents try to force that for the sake of creating a “new family.”
