It's really cool to hear that you found a family, and interesting to hear about you learning how a loving family communicates, and fights, and gets over it, and stays together. My wife came from a somewhat dysfunctional family and it took a while for her to understand that my parents ACTUALLY love her unconditionally and would more or less do anything for her. Good for you for putting in the work and energy, it's super tough for introverts especially around very extroverted people.
