You're not alone. You're never alone. I have no family left that is worth more than a half penny and has no love or concern for me. They are my bio family. Two brothers. If you can get more out of your non-bioloigcal family, be grateful. Honestly. Love them. Love yourself. The bio thing didn't happen this time in your life. It's gone. You're well with us. Happy Holidays and many good thoughts and wishes for you. I remember crying about not having a father, but in the longterm I was better without. Take care of yourself. Love the one you're with and give them thanks for being there.

I agree, love the people who love you despite where they come from or whether they are bio or not. We can choose the family we want,,,

Stay safe and at peace my friend, God Bless.

I live alone with no friends except online. Trust me, that's worse.

I had to give up on my bio family too. I tried, I really did try to get along with them. But they kept right on abusing me in their subtle ways, so I gave up.

I have friends who are sick and can't work, so they have to depend on their abusive bio family. They are worse off than either me or you. So let's try to be content with what we have, which is peace. Peace is a very good thing.

I can understand your pain about not having family (bio), I have it too at times. There's a lot of expectation put on 'family' to be loving and supportive in this society, and I have to let go of that whole spin. Yes, I've got good friends, but i also have had to grieve the family I never had.
