I have close friends who are like family, however, i guess in my case family consists of those directly related to me, becuase those are truly the ones i can depend upon at the end of the day.
His two sisters and mom are supportive of the situation and support my decision to stand. His mom actually went through the same thing with his step dad who raised him, unfortunately they ended up divorcing. At the time my husband was very angry with him for that and it has resulted in a broken relationship for the two of them.
