I’m adopted, so if family is defined by blood relatives, I have none.

I consider family the people I grew up with - my mom, my brother, my dad (now deceased).

After that it gets too complicated for me. Both my parents remarried and brought other children to the relationship but I don’t consider them family. I met my bio mom and bro once 20 years ago. I don’t consider them family.

I am estranged from all my aunts and uncles and cousins, so I don’t consider them family anymore either.

Basically I base it on who I have a relationship with at this point in my life.
