How come Mormons will help strangers but wont have anything to do with their own family?

Yes , Mormons will help strangers but their families are suppose to come first. Mormons are taught they can be with their families forever in the next life. This can only be achieved by treating their families with love and respect while they are here on earth now. Often times people fall short of expectations while they are in family relationships. This happens too often and is something that needs to always be improved upon. It is not the doctrine but the person who falls short. Any Mormon who is abusive to family members can be brought before a Mormon court and excommunicated from the church if the infraction is serious enough.
