Family

we are a completly disfunction family. But not in an intervention sort of way. We are just very unique and strong willed. which is both a help and a hinderance. A little history. My mother wasn't supposed to have any children due to a heart condition. She had both Scarlett and Rheumatic fever as a child. But, alas the family name must be carried on, so she got pregnant. Then I had the bad grace to be a girl. No name carrying. So, try number two, finally a boy. Unfortunately it was too much for her heart and she passed. My brother was six weeks old when she died, and I was two weeks shy of being 3. We then moved in with my grandparents, who I have always dearly loved. My dad and two kids. The new american family. To this day, I can hear my Nana saying, " be nice to him, he lost his mom when he was just a baby." What the hell was I? Who had more of a memory, who had more trauma? Oh yes, the little princeling. You may have guessed that we are not very close. We don't hate each other, but we also don't miss each other when seperated. I also have a half brother. whose mother is a horrible, horrible woman. She was both physically and mentally abusive. This has led me to become completely unsympathetic to people who stay with their abusers. I just don't get it. I also learned at this age, first grade, to not have complete faith in my father. If he said, go ahead and tell me what the problem is and I will fix it, don't believe it. I told about the abuse, he took her side, and left us with the abuser. Finally after two years of this, she broke my Nana's finger and I was finally believed. This is also the time when I learned that surprises are never a good thing. And that people can be oh so very cruel.Then a parade of other step mothers. These are the things that have made me into the person that I am today. some good, some harsher. But, if I love you, you know it. And if I speak it, it is the truth to me.No, I don't tell people on the street that i hate hteri hair color, but, i will not absolutely lie to you. Especially not my friends.
