I personally have had my ins and outs with my family. I chose to move far away from them in order to save our relationship. We are much better now being that we miss and love each other so much. I have attached an article helping to explain and provides statistics to this dilemma.

@A myHIVteam Member. Family is only missing if you want to find them. Many of us know where to find them, we are just not looking. 🤠

@A myHIVteam Member - I think many of us are in the same boat. We choose who is family.

Yes, sorry to say. I have three brothers and a sister. Won't get into the nephews and nieces I am not allowed to see. For me I had to leave them alone for my own Peace and Security. My oldest brother driving me to the emergency room put his hand on his concealed gun and told me he should shoot me between the "n" c*ck sucking eyes. My niece told me what my Christian Nationalist sister and brother (my teenage sexual abuser) thought. That I should be stoned to death. And don't ask about my younger brother and his shenanigans. So other than say Hi to, at funerals, I have no contact with them. It's been over 5 yeas now.

My family are mostly deceased never came out to them but we aren't close-knit anyway my life my way no one to worry about when I did was when I was in toxic relationship and did me then an now cit toxic and healing from wall building no regrets
