This paper addresses the impact of social networks on family relationships and aims to identify the most important motivations leading to their use. A questionnaire was used as a tool to identify the extent of social media addiction and its impacts on family relationships, on a sample of 200 people. The results have shown that addiction to social networks is caused by several factors, including recreational motives, and used to fill up the void and to see what is new. These networks provide also the individuals with comfort and bring them out of the isolation, pressures, and conflicts they face in the surrounding environment. The results showed also that social networks caused family disorders, instability of social relationships, the growth of individuality, and the escape from addressing the reality of life by living in a virtual world, weakening family ties and values.
