i've been partially estranged from my bio family for most of my life even if i was forced to move back in/out a few times. always did surrogate 'families' and now it's just me and my partner and all my "family" are scattered everywhere and we can never see each other due to $ reasons. maintaining contact is hard because my anxiety and it hurts i would rather be in the same room.
i think those of us left would love living on a campus or other arrangement and probalbly bring our various partners with us. we're all creative neuro/gender diverse millennial weirdos. but i think these things should be choices. not all my surrogate family people have shitty relationships with their biological families.
