I think family is very important, but I don’t think that you have to work on toxic relationships forever if they’re not going to work. Just because you’re my blood relative does not mean that you are my family. I don’t see biology necessarily as family. I see it as mutual care for each other and a reciprocal relationship that both parties can benefit from. If you’re both not doing that, then I don’t consider that as family. I see that people who are not my biological family have been more like a family to me.
