This was a brutally honest article, and it’s one that I relate to on a very personal level. Of my remaining family, I only really speak to my brother on a casual basis. My dad never reaches out (and never answers the phone), my sister is entrenched in some fantasy world where I’m out to “get” her, and my extended family is only curious about my life as a source of gossip.

The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb. If your genetic family is lacking and you need people in your life, go out and make your own family. There’s plenty of black sheep, misfits, and orphans in the world — join up with them to form a Voltron-esque super-family.
