Be honest-am I unlikely to find a spouse with my situation?

As-salamu alaykum. My home environment is quite broken, and my relatives have moved away from practicing Islam. I've got a lot of extended family, but honestly, none of them reach out unless it's just a formality. I've always felt like no one truly cares, and deep down, I know those bonds feel fleeting. I don't have anyone close, either. Am I really done for? I can't imagine any sister wanting to marry a guy who comes from a fractured family or pretty much no family at all. In the end, it feels like I don't have a REAL family. There's been this empty space in my heart since I was 12, and it's made life feel so heavy and sad.

Brother, your worth isn't defined by your family's sins. Many sisters look for deen and character, not a perfect background. Stay strong in your salah and make du'a-Allah can open doors you never imagined.

Bro, the Prophet (SAW) had no father and lost his mother young, yet he's the best of creation. Your situation can make you more compassionate. Don't let shaytan whisper hopelessness. Keep searching, and trust Allah's plan.

My wife is from a difficult family too, and it didn't stop us. What mattered was her heart. Start looking at the mosque or through a trustworthy imam-someone will value you for you, not your relatives.
