Real Family - Tumblr Posts

The people you consider "family" may not be the people you're related to and that's okay. Being related to someone should never be a thing used against you or held over your head like a threat.

Your real family are the people who look out for you and care about you.

Never associate with someone who is toxic, manipulative, or mean to you, no matter what their DNA is. You are your first priority always. Your mental health is important.

Sometimes the best family we could ever have aren't related to us. And sometimes the most toxic people to our own health are the people who are related to us.

You owe nothing to anybody. Spend your time with people who treat you well.

Aggressive reminder that just because you’re related to someone biologically, does NOT mean that you are obligated to love them
