I'm looking for general input on the structure of the following sentence:

"Outside of my family, you are the only three people to whom I actually care what happens."

@roundar,
Dar, you might omit the "of" and the "people"

And maybe the comma too

@dalehileman,
I'd keep the comma but I think you're right about the two omissions Dale.

@tsarstepan,
Thanks Tsar for your support, a rare commodity hereabout. And yes the comma is a matter of choice and circumstance

@roundar,
I am one to whom the accusation is that I actually don't care for I actually care.

Outside my family I only care what happens to you three.

Use know who yous are.
