Family!!!

What defines a family??? Let's see what the dictionary definition is of Family... Family is any group of persons closely related by blood, as parents, children, uncles, aunts, and cousins.... So where does love come into this equation??? I mean do you do you have to love your family???? Especially when your family can be arrogant, judgemental, and religious.... Well not my entire family but at least one side is... They can be so hurtful and mean that makes you question the meaning of family... Also it ruins the pretty picture that your family isn't perfect and your fucked up like others... I'm confused because I'm my Father's only child and my Mother's second child... Am I half an only child??? Doesn't matter anyway my father doesn't care anyways.... I know for one thing that some of my family don't even know me and I bloody related to them.... What does that say about them??? Where in this equation does love come in??? I mean why can't family be happy with your choices and support you because they love you??? No instead they have to control you and if you want their love you have to listen... Bloody wankers, sod off it's out life!!! I'm sure you made mistakes in your past and learned from them... Doesn't mean we can't make our own and newsflash once the teen hits eighteen legally you have no say in what they do... All you can do is support their choices... Stop treating us like a damn baby because honestly that will only bloody push us away... No wonder people say, "Friends are Family we choose" it makes more sense then our own bloody families...
