Preemptive FAQ
What is afamilial?
afamilial is the lack of/inability to feel "familial love"
Wait, that's a thing?
Yup.
You didn't make it up?
Nope.
Is it because of trauma/abuse?
It can be (for me it was) but it doesn't have to be, same for any other aspec identity.
What does it look like?
-Feeling/treating/seeing family as about the same as coworkers/classmates/acquaintances/friends
-Strongly preferring other relationships over familial ones
-Not understanding why/not feeling that family ties should be seen as greater or more important than other connections
-"Why doesn't [character shunned by family/family member for almost the entirety of the story] just leave? are they stupid?"
