      My mom is a junkie, having a relationship with her is pointless. You don’t owe your progenitors shit.

        Any parent who says you owe them love and respect simply because they birthed you is likely someone you should cut ties with. Don’t ask me how I know.

        I love my chosen family far more than most of my genetic relatives.

        Worth noting, they could also be kind, loving people who provided for you all of your childhood. You still don’t owe them shit. They accepted a responsibility, not you.
