I would like to distinguish between family and relatives. it makes me sick to hear that phrase family has got to stick together blood is thicker then water. family i believe are the people who care about you. if your mother father and siblings care for you then fair enough consider them family but if not then don't call them family. I know who my family are and it's not my biological relations. i don't believe anyone should care about people who don't care about them and you shouldn't feel guilty for not caring about your biological family as i see so many people do. we only get one life we shouldn't waste it on people who don't care. ive known very few people in my life i can call family and i sure as hell wouldn't consider my biological family as my REAL family. i learned that the hard way. people who accept you for who you are, people who care about you and not what they want you to be or what they want from you those people deserve what you give your family out of loyalty. people say they gave birth to me, feed me, cloth me and provide me with the things i need they deserve respect. i say can respect and the ability to care be bought? no. they must earn it. your guardians pay for you because they must or will be seen as neglectful tainting their image they do what society dictates they must. i say you can choose your family and feel no guilt. take a look around who do you rely on to get through the hard times, who has helped you better yourself and recover from the stages in life when you became lost and depressed? who are the people who look out for you because they cared enough to do so? who are the people You can trust and turn to? when you find those people you call them family
