The quote, "blood is thicker than water" is taken to mean that...you're loyalty should lie with your family- 'blood relatives'. BUT this is a bastardization of the actual original quote, which reads... "The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb." ..which means- the bonds we consciously choose can have greater value than just having a familial connection. The bonds created through 'blood'- in battle, or through ritual.. can be the greatest. Healing from dysfunction in the family should NOT leave you feeling guilty, sometimes you just HAVE TO put yourself first and do what is right......for you.
