[Mystique was blunt, no reason to expect Raven not to be.] He's part of the X-Men. He joined them after Xavier found him in Germany with his parents. [Mystique was also not delusional (even if others would argue that), she knew the Wagners were more his parents than she ever had been.] It's very well suited for him. I don't doubt it's helped him a lot, taught him to be part of a bigger community and to help accept himself more.
