Scenario

When you want your chosen family to be your only family during holidays

My chosen family always splits holidays between our families of origin but this year I don't want to see my biological family at all and I'm afraid to put that burden on my friends.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Rejecting biological family obligations can create pressure on chosen family to fill roles they didn't explicitly agree to assume.
