Being afamilial and an adoptee (estranged from adoptive parents due to abuse) is really funny because you open up to people about the trauma you have from being an adoptee and 50% of people go "we can be your family now/we'll adopt you/we can be a found family" (said to me as an adult) and you just have to stifle the rant you have saved up about how being continually "adopted" against your will really fucking hurts and you wish people wouldn't say that.
It's just, good grief, read the room, will ya?
