What defines a 'family'? A common theme I see is that people who are in a couple and choose to NOT have children get denigrated by churchy people as not deserving of having a romantic perhaps intimate loving relationship because of the choice to not have children. That is so fucked up.
In my case, I am single with no romantic partner since I left my narcissistic control-freak 'princess' of a former partner in mid 2018 a year after our daughter was born, and my 'family' depends how you look at it. I have three adult kids from my first relationship, so they are my 'family'. I also have a beautiful 4 y/o daughter who is my 'family'.
I don't date anyone and have zero adult love interest, so how does that fit with the god-botherers? Am I allowed or not allowed to call my situation a 'family' with one or more 'crossovers'?
