You are blessed. My experience is captured in this quote: “Friends are God’s way of apologizing to us for our families”― Tennessee Williams

I also subscribe to this not authenticatable version of the blood and water quote: "The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb." I wrote a tanka and discussion on all that two years ago. https://medium.com/know-thyself-heal-thyself/of-blood-and-water-c3f8645c856f The tanka is:

"Blood or water bonds

Bleed with friends from family

Blood clots water flows

Family oft gaslights me

Yet one clap from sis tears flow"

I should note that I do receive unconditional love and support from my mother, along with the occasional yelling at me phone call.
