[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why all these hierarchy and ranking and priority postings lately? I'm closer to friends than some family members, but still see family as family and friends as friends. That's not to say I wouldn't move heaven and Earth to help a friend in need, but if you're blood that's just a thing that a friend isn't. [/quote]

But shouldn't it be based on closeness and not blood?[/quote]

A friend falls out and moves away, you can never see or hear of them again. You see family at least at weddings, funerals, holidays, reunions, and hear about them from other family. [/quote]

That doesn't make you close to them though. Again look around on DCUM at how many people have had to cut off blood relatives out of their life because of toxicity. Not all friends fall out either and the great thing about technology now a days is that even if someone moves away it's much easier to keep in touch with them via zoom or FaceTime or other methods.

It's just false that being blood related guarantees that you will be closer to someone than a friend. [/quote]
