In this chapter, I examine Miriam's family and romantic history as she herself recounted it to me, limited to her close family ties, that is, her main partners—meaning those with whom she lived under the same roof and/or whom she officially recognizes as such—her children, her daughter, and her daughter's partner.
I also make a brief mention of Miriam's family of origin and her siblings, as she herself recognizes them as important in her life.
