People say blood is thicker than water. Well blood can be venom. And that's my irl family. Chosen family helped me be sane with them.
 
*puts on her smart ass cap*

Actually the proverb in it's original form is: "The blood of the battle field is thicker then the water of the womb"

So in essence saying exactly as you see it (Family is chosen) and thus in it's original meaning the opposite of what people nowadays use it for :3

I AGREE.

I had a difficult time with my family growing up, which thankfully wasn't as bad as many others have had to suffer, because we were eventually able to get through it.

But during the worst years, my found family were the ones that helped me survive and grow as a person. O: I definitely wouldn't be here today if it weren't for their support.

10000%, found families are just as valid as blood family. We don't live long enough to spend our entire lives agonizing about people if they want to do nothing but force things we don't want upon us, whether they raised us or not.
