Response to blog
This is honestly a hard question to answer. I have no idea what I would do because I can't imagine leaving my family. Even if I wasn't particular fond of them they still have supported me for so many years that I feel like I would owe it to them to stay "in the family." I could just go hang out with the second family. It would be extremely selfish to leave you mother, father, siblings, aunts, uncles and other relatives because you didn't like them. My friend's families are cool but I wouldn't abandon my own to be with them. I would be flattered if someone asked to adopt me but after knowing someone for a couple weeks I wouldn't naively just go stay with them. Family is something more than just liking each other. Chris probably didn't want to because of that reason in addition that he wanted to go to Alaska. He gave up on his family to pursue his dream of living off the wild! I don't think Chris even considered finding a new family.

I think where the question is misleading is that Chris "abandoned" his family. He sort of did... I don't think he had any need for a new family, he just wanted to explore the wild independently. His family was still in the back of his mind.
ReplyDeleteIm right there with ya. there is no way i could even think about leaving my family. A "second" family is kinda something i experienced, but your primary family is still the one to go to for sure.
