Day 68

Confession: It’s not lost on me how beautiful it is that so many people care about me and want to support me. But around family holidays—like Christmas—it becomes painful how that love can unknowingly invalidate the existence of my blood family.
Only one side of my family is a cult. The other side is complex but trying. I love both. My distance from one doesn’t erase that. I don’t want anyone replacing them. I want all parts of me to be acknowledged.
