I think it's GENERALLY true... I feel like most friendships end. Some can go on for years and years, and some are really short lived, but they end eventually and you kind of drift apart. You might get lucky and have a "friend for life" but it's on the rare side.

With family you will hear from/about them for your whole life generally, even if you don't really actively talk. Even if it's just gossip from your parents. So they'll be "in your life" to at least some extent.

I think this is generally how it goes but on the Internet/CE you'll probably get a skewed response since a disproportionate number of people here seem to hate their families/parents.
