Where do I belong? Not in this family. In my situation blood is never thicker than water. They keep me on the outside no matter how hard I try or how deserving I feel. I've become hardened to their locked doors and barred windows. Choosing family, family of choice- I choose where to belong or maybe I just settle in where I feel I belong. Society says that family is important. Daughters are supposed to love their mothers, grandmothers should pass on wisdom and not ignorance. Maybe sisters are the ones who help you keep it together. The day you realize the dysfunction and break free of it is the day you unlock the door to your own prison that was made for you before you were thought into being.
