I think your mom and my mom must be related - To her, family is the top priority in the entire universe. I was thirty-five when I moved away from Chicago because of my job, and to this day my mother has never understood how I could abandon my family like that. Of course, she never really understood why I wanted to work in the first place - after all, I have a husband who's supposed to take care of me. *g* Are you sure you're not Sicilian?
I just don't believe (family) should be defined in biological terms - you are so right about this too. I never had any sisters growing up, and really never missed not having any until I met some friends through the fandom community who have become closer to me than I imagine any blood sister could be. So if your 'real' family isn't giving you the support you need, adopt one that will!
