I currently live alone. I have an ex-wife I have not spoken to since 2007 and a current "partner" who is taking a break or whatever that even means. 2 kids.

I have no contact with anyone still living in my genetic family, other than my occasional phone call to my elderly dad. I am fine with that. My genetic family sucks, other than my dad. You can have them. My real family are the very few friends that do still care and haven't bailed and the awesome folks at PC.

What I have learned over the years is not to try to put a square peg in a round hole. My genetic family discriminated against me and threw me away like last month's trash. So, I made my own family. As I have said before, I would rather have 2 people I can totally count on than ten who suck. But that is just me. Other people may have different feelings.
