I guess. I was raised by my mom and she died when I was young (I was an adult though). I understand the sentiment of worrying what will happen when you don't have your parents anymore all too well, but this secret makes it sound like some unique situation that OP can't recover from.

If nothing else, there is such a thing as a chosen family.

I get that - but I also get how that's a real worry. And the sad thing I see now, that a lot of my once-chosen family has moved on the have blood families of their own, and I don't see them much anymore.

Well, yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what OP means when they say "non-blood family like the Avengers". Sounds like they haven't found a chosen family yet and are worried that they will be alone once they outlive their blood family.

And an anecdote regarding ages: a former classmate celebrated her 18th birthday the same year her father turned 70.

It's not as easy as all that. All the elders in my family are dead. It's just about down to me and my brother, and a scattering of relatives that live across the country and the world. My older nephew is 22 from my brother's first marriage, and my younger nephew is 10 months old from his second. My two kids are 6 and 11. As far as bonding goes, it's going to be hard for them to because of their scattered ages. I envy families where brothers and sisters have kids in the same age bracket, within five or six years of each other, and they all do things together, go through school events together, trips and camping. Fuck, I envy families with multiple generations. My brother and I went from being "the kids" to being the oldest generation within ten years.
