When chosen family substitutes for biological family healing

My best friend and I both come from complicated families and we've created this chosen family dynamic together, but lately I've been wondering if we're using our friendship to avoid dealing with our actual families and whether that's sustainable or fair to either of us.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The comfort found in chosen family bonds can sometimes mask an avoidance of the more difficult work of understanding one's relationship to biological family love.
