Am I wrong?
I ask because somebody argued that people leave me because I eventually consider them family, which he argued is an abnormal thing to do.

I don't think you are wrong. I've definitely had friends that felt more like family to me than my own family.
We don't have a choice as to which family we are born into, but to me the concept of family goes beyond blood. Sorry, but the saying 'blood is thicker than water' I think is just crap.
