It's so important to remember who your family is..
Family is NOT the one you are labeled with..
Family is the ones who are loyal to you.. Who actually bother to wonder how you are, regardless of how much their own life sucks..
Family is not the people who keep pushing you into giving, and giving but who never give anything back.. The ones who are just full of words and never act anything close to the words they speak..
My family is my son.. My husband.. My soon to come baby..
My family is the friend who has a kid in hospital but still tries to sooth me when I worry...
My family is my husbands grandmother who pulls me aside and tells me not to worry, cause when it's time for me to go to labor she will be there to make sure my son is taken care of - canceling her vacations just to not miss it..
So fuck the ones who are forcing words like "sister" on you.. Fuck them..
blood is nothing and everything.
ReplyDeletefuck anyone that calls you family when they act like shit. they are not family. they are just ties you have to cut off because they are poison.
i can't believe they are still so shitty. and seriously.
i'm glad you have a family. you deserve one. you deserve a real good one.
i'm glad you have a home. that's real important.
take care of yourself.

"I will not set fire to myself to keep you warm." You don't need to, not for anyone, not for "family." People who love you won't ask it of you. Take care of yourself first and maintain the relationships that are about love and respect and support. You deserve better than what you were given, and I'm so glad you have been able to make your own real family.
