[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 111284, member: 1550"] There ARE family members that can be toxic for us and for our kids, and we kind of have to make hard choices sometimes. I really feel that the people who love and accept you are your family, not who happened to share the same womb or who gave birth to you. If I felt that way, I wouldn't have adopted my kids. My own family was destructive to me and my children. I don't know David's situation but I think he's in the best position to know if his family is a positive or negative for his child. I really don't see my bio. family much, but I have a great "family" of friends. I just don't buy that blood forces you to stay connected...I have suffered more hurt at the hands of my family than any other people...and so have my kids. So it's all very individual...jmo David, I agree with Star that you have plenty to offer. You've been through a lot with your son and certainly have experience to pass along. I'm glad you came. It's great to see a man (no offense to men...lol) who is so loving towards a very difficult child and unwilling to give up on him. [/QUOTE]
