I kept reading it over and over again and KEEP LONGING for comments. As I was searching (for days...)for my answers to your question I just came up with a re-reading of Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha: browngirlworld. Sure you've read it before (like i did) but this time was just AMAZING!!! I find it helpful when she quotes a friend: "It's the places where we hurt each other when we're close, girl, that our most important work lies in. It's where the big changes happen. Where the world blows open or it doesn't." So it seems to me that there is no direct or DIY-way out of the pain, anger, frustration, isolation you described /"we" face (writing more love-letters might help, though). It's rather that "We have to stay in the icky places, master the art of moving one step past what we know, listen to each other instead of shouting and do that tricky two-step of both trusting we know when we're being fucked over and knowing the difference between the truly evil and abusive and someone who screws up but is not evil. This is the difference between purity ans practicality." So that we come to search for family [and maybe community and the ways we actually can act in there/ towards it ?] that is "Not perfect. But good enough. Just good enough." Thanx for that post. I kept reading it over and over again and KEEP LONGING for comments.
