re: #1379 Slumbering Behemoth

I was once told by a blood relative that my mother’s adoptive parents (my maternal grandparents) were not really my family, not really my grandparents. The notion is abhorrent.

Friend of mine was once THANKED by a cousin for coming to the funeral of a grandparent who wasn’t her blood relation. “So nice of you to come all this way for OUR grandfather’s funeral.”

Out of respect for her grandma’s feelings, she did not kill her cousin.
