    Probably my last Thanksgiving with biological family.

    Stopped spending all holidays with my bio family three years ago.

    Do it.

    It’s wonderful.

      Anyone else grow up hearing about that one crazy, estranged aunt/uncle who cut ties with the family years prior, only to eventually understand, then become them?

        And you make contact and they turn out to be entirely reasonable and someone you’d prefer to spend time with over any of the main family?

        Personally, no, but I’ve seen it a lot browsing the drama subs on that old site.

      Growing up my dad always complained about his in-laws and would say “be careful, when you marry someone you marry their family!”

      And he’s right! I married into a wonderful family that I spend the holidays with.
