And my friends have certainly been a better family through this whole process than my real family did. A few of them took me in for the night just so I could have someone to be with, many have offered to make me dinner if I wanted it, offered rides, helped me with how I can handle different situations. In most situations, my parents would just say "deal with it, your dad/mom and I had a much harder life than you did growing up and we turned out fine" and there would be very little empathy, whereas all of my friends have empathised with anything I'm going through. When my Christian parents said they thought my boyfriend and I are disgusting and going to hell, my Christian FREINDS asked when they could meet him, when we could come over for dinner, and asked when we could start double dating. So far my friends have come up ahead of my family who is supposed to love and support me no matter what. Friends aren't supposed to be that, yet they have been just that for me.
