[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I DON'T feel lonely. I'm NOT jealous of friends or my spouse. I DO feel like I have a ton of support when I need it. I DO travel with family (and/or friends/spouse), I do host and attend family events, etc.

But I believe in the concept of "the family you create".  I also don't worry about technicalities.  I'm closest with a cousin who is a third cousin once removed or something like that. It doesn't matter that he's not a first cousin or a brother. I don't need his bone marrow.

Focus on what you DO have.[/quote]

+1  I have a close friend group and my parents are local.  In some ways, I'm thankful that as decisions need to be made I don't have to run them by siblings for consensus like I've observed with my spouse and friends. There have been many occasions where the siblings aren't in agreement and it causes its own set of issues and even delays. I agree with the above, focus on the family you DO have and find the positives that come with it.  [/quote]
