Scenario

When chosen family pressures you to repair biological family relationships

I came out as gay to my biological family and they rejected me but my chosen family keeps pushing me to reconcile with them and I wish they'd understand that some bridges should stay burned.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Chosen family members may not fully grasp the necessity of cutting ties with harmful biological relatives.
