    family I grew up with

    I appreciate the ambiguous yet honest and poignant phrasing here. Its reminiscent of how my mother is specified as biological most of the time despite the fact that I don’t call anyone else Mom. It seems sad but I know plenty of people root for me in their own way and thats enough for me :)
