What FAMILY...…….Really IS
There are some traditional people who proclaim that family only means blood. However, the true definition of family are people not necessarily blood ties who have respect, support, & love for each other. These people also have a commonality whether it is education, lifestyle, or socioeconomic connection. On the contrary, there are blood family members who have a TOXIC paradigm. These are the same people who are threatened by other family members who are different from their familial paradigm. In essence, family is what one creates, not necessarily what one is born into. Your thoughts?
