KereKris tells us more.
OP here. I guess this needs a follow-up. I was in a sailing boat with some friends and although there were big waves, the wind wasn't too strong so we thought it would be safe sailing. We were wrong about that. An exceptionally big wave came up from behind. The boat started surfing uncontrollably down from it and eventually flipped. I was caught by a rope and dragged under water. Fortunately I had a safety knife strapped to my leg so I could cut myself free but it took some time and I lost consciousness before I could make it up. My friends dragged up on the upturned hull of our boat because they were unable to flip it back. The tide was rising so the current pushed us close to the shore. In the surf we were trown off again and because of the waves it was too dangerous to approach the boat again so my friends swam to the shore, dragging me behind them. I regained consciousness for a while but passed out again as soon as we made it to the beach. Hope this answers all your questions.

Maybe that's why her family didn't come. Didn't want to turn with her.
Hope you get better soon!
Looks like your family doesn't care about your health. FYL
They ARE NOT family. Just people you happen to share some DNA markers with.
Siding with you, 24. I've never considered people my family just because we have the "same blood", you are only family to me if you treat me with respect, care, and love. OP, at least your friends got you out and called for medical help. So hopefully your friends are more kind than your "family."
I agree with 24 and 56. I hate it when my family uses the reason, "because we're family" for anything and everything when I asked why they did something wrong.
you deserve a better family
Unfortunately you can't pick your family
well I disowned my mother and half sister
You have no idea that's true.. Maybe OP is the one who skydived without a parachute into the sea (hypothetically) and they're the ones that deserve a better family.
Lol if you skydive into the ocean, you would be dead. Do you know how fast you'd hit the water jumping out of a plane thousands of feet in the air? And even if OP decided to do something risky with their life, why does that automatically conclude that the family deserves better? Interesting logic you got there.
You can choose those you treat like family. I don't deal with some of mine because they are just too bad. They won't even be notified if I am in the hospital. Some of my friends however. They have become my 'adopted' family.
Go all King Neptune on their ass
Are you kidding me! Djeez that pretty horrible.. Feel sorry for you
They'll probably regret it someday. Sorry it happened to you OP.
That's really cold. I hope you get over it.
I don't know if that's a pun or just coincidence. Anyway, hope you're all better now OP, at least your friends were with you through it!
It wasn't a pun. Cold as in cold hearted.
better as a pun
I'm glad you lived if anything, OP. Get well soon!
