“LIVING TOGETHER”

“RELATED BY BLOOD OR MARRIAGE”

“THE CHILDREN OF A PERSON OR COUPLE”

“ALL THE DESCENDANTS OF A COMMON ANCESTOR”

The above quotes are just some of the information i found.  I feel these quotes are a description of family that is from a stereotypical view. Which is perfectly normal, and what i was expecting when researching. However,  I feel as though Family can be many things. It can be a group of close friends, teaching classes, people that share a common interest, or a family of material things. Family can be described in many ways and also perceived and shown in many ways too. Blood relative families have a unique dynamic, this is because your are ‘blood related’. You fight but always forgive and love eachother no matter how severe the fight.

I can closely relate to a family in the form of a ‘Friendship Family’. Family friendships have a very similar dynamic. You fight, just like blood families and you also always make up and forgive eachother. The fights may be worse and over longer periods of time, but you always do eventually make up and forgive.
