A quick definition of stranger in blood:

Term: Stranger in Blood

Definition: A stranger in blood is someone who is not related to you by blood, like a family member who is related to you by marriage. It can also refer to anyone who is not considered a close family member or loved one.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A stranger in blood is someone who is not related by blood, such as a relative by marriage or adoption. It can also refer to any person who is not within the consideration of natural love and affection arising from a relationship.

Your stepfather is a stranger in blood because he is not related to you by blood, but rather by marriage to your mother.
An adopted child may be a stranger in blood to their adoptive parents, but they are still considered family.
A friend or neighbor is a stranger in blood because they are not related to you by blood or marriage.

These examples illustrate how a person can be considered a stranger in blood even if they are considered family or close to you in some way. It is important to recognize that blood relation is not the only factor in determining familial relationships and that love and affection can arise from other types of relationships as well.

I’m at the point in this process where the glimmers of hope have faded and at this point I just want these schools to reject me and get it over with rather than jerk me around until July.

Yeah some of those schools I applied to on a whim last minute. Mostly bummed about Touro. Thought I had a shot at getting in a lower tier school but from what I read they get back to As usually within a month and let the Rs go for months. Might give it one more shot for the spring, maybe try to get a higher score but I’m 34 and my grades are my grades and nothing I can really do about it. Probably was always a pipe dream.
