Why does being a family have to be so hard?

Posted on July 18, 2010 by molly

Within the past four years, I have learned that:

  • My father never wanted kids.
  • My youngest sister was/is my mother’s favorite. Actually this has been common knowledge for years but you know…
  • My middle sister was/is my father’s favorite.
  • My father had his marriage to my mother annulled so that his marriage to my step-mother would be recognized by the Catholic Church. As a Catholic myself, I’m a little unsure how I, as an apparent bastard child, fit into the Christian world…
  • My father adopted my step-sister without telling his biological children first.
  • My youngest sister set her profile on Facebook so that she doesn’t see my posts.
  • My middle sister lurks on Facebook, reading my posts and those of my youngest sister and comments on them to our parents while not ever posting on FB.
  • Both of them maintain FB friendships with my kids.
  • I don’t think I like my family very much, which is hard to say.
  • I made a couple of comments to N on FB regarding her posts and she turned around and accused me of stalking her.
  • My mom’s coming into town next month for N’s college graduation, and I don’t know what to do with all this.

    • Sometimes I wish I could just run away from my life.
