[Somehow, this isn't unexpected. Martin's not sure he's ever known someone that didn't have some kind of issues with their family. It's just kind of like that, for some reason.]

Family isn't always about being blood related, you know. It's about who feels like the most important people to you. People that you love and cherish. Especially since real family isn't always nice to you, or... or you have the best of times with.

[He doesn't want to get into the weeds with that, but boy howdy, does he get it.]

It sounds like you still care about them though. Even if things were tough.
