Is it normal that i've always thought friends were before family?

Since I was 10, I have always thought friends were more important than family. At the time I hated my family and I wanted to leave the town I was in. I still feel friends have always been there for me rather than family.
Is this normal?

    Yea a lot of people feel this way. Some friends are like family to people.

    Family generally turn up to all family births weddings funerals. Plus they also share biological makeup (including illnesses) and in one way of looking at it, each parent is half of you!

    PLUS you may have your own nuclear family one day, I hope that family has utter importance over your friends.

      ^ Yea When you have your own family just make sure you do everything you can to love them because you don't want them to feel how you feel now.
