What happens when you feel like you're family isn't your family anymore? Whether its because of an overall unfamiliarity or a falling out, what do you when you feel so far removed from them, that they no longer are much of a priority?
Is it possible to bond with people who aren't related to you in such a way that they replace the need or want for the family you already have? Discuss. |

i can understand how some people are closer with friends than they are with family. i have friends that are like family to me and people i've grown up with that i call cousins. for now, the friends are just like family. i don't think i could ever replace my family but i can definitely see myself becoming very distant with them in the future.
edit- to answer the first question: i tend to distance myself emotionally and sometimes physically. i distract myself from whatever the problem is and i spend less time around the house. |
