I hardly have a friend in the area I grew up who didn't have shit for family. When I went to New Kensington (outside Pittsburgh) for school, I met so many fantastic people. I practically adopted two more moms and gained so much more family. And then I came home. My own family is quite dysfunctional as can be expected. But they're family and I love them. I don't intend to disown them, but I wouldn't be surprised if one day when they learn more about me that they'd disown me.
