I am one who 'loves my family but'
My biggest family issues were with my father. He died. Problem solved....
I love my mother, but: her unwillingness to get her hearing checked, rather subjecting us to large volumes of tv volume, then shouting to be heard over it......and other annoying habits. And she gets her political views from my brother, probably because he talks louder than others.
On the good side, she has a good sense of humor, is always there when I need her (well, except for her not being able to protect the kiddos) and just a good person to be around.
I love my brother, but: He's, shall we say - unpolished? he gets all his news from (fair and balanced) fox. And if they didn't talk about it, it didn't happen. He's like a bull everywhere he goes and his idea of debating an issue is repeating what he just said - only louder.
I love both of them - but they can annoy the bejeezers out of me.
So - it is possible to say I love my family, but.
