When His Family Is The Family You Never Had
They celebrate your victories
When something good happens to me, not only do my partner’s parents call me, they send notes, and they tell their friends about it—they’re proud of me. I can sense that they are uplifted for days by my good news as if it is also their good news. I’m not entirely used to that. I’m used to just celebrating on my own, assuming nobody else would get that excited about it.
