Family has always been really complicated for me. My dad was adopted at birth and had a relationship with his biological mother in my childhood. He didn't know who his biological dad was until I was in my 20s. His dad died when I was two, but his mom was a huge part of my life until a couple years ago. My mom's parents were divorced and both remarried. My parents split up when I was seven-ish. Then, my mom got sick and we lived with her best friend and her family for a while. They became our family. My dad remarried, and I gained another family. It was always just a lot. And within the last couple years, I've basically kept myself and my family separated from my dad and my brother for our own emotional wellbeing. Instead, we've surrounded ourselves with our chosen family. The newest member of that family has made the biggest impact on our lives, and I'm grateful for him every single day. Today, we met his dad, and it was so incredibly wonderful. Just for my actual family to turn around and ruin the high I rode all day. And this is why I have basically nothing to do with any of my blood family...
