“It took being at Harpy House, where it was stable and calm and there are supportive people around me, for me to realize that the people I consider family are not the people who I see all the time and have lots of fun times with,” Jade told me. “It’s the people who check in on me when they haven’t heard from me for a few days, or remember what’s going on with me—‘Oh, I know you had that stressful thing,’ or ‘I brought you tacos unexpectedly,’ or ‘Oh, I heard you weren’t feeling well physically, so I’m gonna come and help you do your laundry.’”
