Hi Kathleen,
Thank you understanding, I appreciate you sharing.
I am the youngest of four, one sister and 2 brothers. I only
hear from my eldest brother Philip who lives in Australia, but
fairly spasmodically.
My family did not see me as an adult even after I turned 21
onwards. The times that I entered a room that my mother
and siblings had been deep in conversation about something
and they suddenly stopped, like whatever I may hear would
scare my young mind for ever!
In the town where I spent the first 6 years of my life and my
sister still lives, the towns people all knew she had two young
brothers but did not know there was me.
In the town where I spent the latter years of my life, knew
that I had two older brothers but did not know I had a sister!
It was not from me because I was happy to tell anyone that
I had one when asked.
I have jumped into help my brothers and sisters whenever
they have needed me. I have been taken advantage by them
too, never saw it coming because one does not expect your
own family members to rip you off and steal from you.
I put that behind me and tried to let sleeping dogs lie. I do
not know what I did no one is telling me. Unless they are
mad at me because I am divorced from my ex.. well my sister
is a divorcee too!!?
