Do I want a family?
Allen and I have been together for over 7 months now and we're still very happy. I have a deeper connexion with him than I have ever had with another person before. So when he talks about us being a "family" that word still really bothers me, maybe because my biological family is such a disappointment.
Then I think of Circles and how Paulie and Douglas basically hand-picked their own "family". Made me think maybe this is the equivalent of that for me only without the extra friends living with us. Then I started thinking of what my life was like when it revolved around the furry culture and thought maybe I should not base any life plans on that. *shudder*
My mom has seen the outside of Allen's house, but I've kept them from meeting. I hate even calling my parents my family. Or my sister for that matter. Today my mom calls me and says she wants the "family" to meet Allen. I said it was up to Allen since I know that he doesn't want to meet her based on the sheer contempt I have for them and their screwed-up values. I don't know if having a family is something I want to actively participate in anymore.
I just wonder at what point will Allen and I have been together long enough that it would be okay to require complete acceptance and support for me living my life the way it makes me happy and in the event that they do not give us that, I can cut ALL ties from them?
