The story

My parents are good people but it’s just that I can’t feel that spark of familiarity with them even though they are my biological parents. And I just don’t know what to do

I totally get where you're coming from, but your story seems a bit off-base!!! Your parents raised ya, and that's a big deal! :)

this story highlights a legitimate concern. the concept of "parental bonding" does not always manifest as expected. psychological literature supports the notion that familiarity is not guaranteed with biological ties. according to Wynne’s study on familial relationships, “blood relation does not inherently equate to emotional connection.” feelings of disconnect with one's parents can occur despite their efforts...
