There’s more of us than there are of them. The problem is knowing who they are and who we are. Finding out is a process. Get burned enough times and the process feels pointless.
Noted on the family-imposed definition. I was trying to be more general - “us” could be you and I, or people like us. But the more I think about it the more I think I botched it. Definitely wasn’t trying to invalidate your experience. Shit’s hard enough as it is, ya know?

My mom said “Us” is the family, “them” is everyone else.
Nah, with that abusive individual you call my “older brother” and y’all as my parents? Nah, I’m good, fam. I’d rather make my own solo team.
But now I have trust-issues so I can’t really form a “team” with anyone.
