Comment on How do you know if you truly love someone as a mother?

This brings to mind the saying: " The blood of the covenant is stronger than the water of the womb." Which means the relationships you CHOOSE are often stronger than the ones you’re born into. If your found family supports and loves you but your biological family doesn’t, then your true family is your found/ chosen family. You don’t need to associate with people who mistreat you.

It’s funny how often this adage is misused. But yeah, this is right! What Mack said.
