@Dutchess_III It has nothing with “how they came to be” and a lot to do with our mutual dad being a difficult person (how disappointing for her to find that out! and for me to have grown up with!) and for the dysfunction surrounding her not ever knowing who her biological dad was. And then there are just weird little things like I’m not my dad’s only daughter any more and how does inheritance work now? And how do have a relationship with a sister you have almost no experience with who is difficult to get along with? I’m much closer with my much younger adopted sister… so what is “family”? What is “biology”? And all of her grief about being lied to and seeking and finding a dad who is disappointing.
It just raises insecurities and lots of big questions.
sorry for my stream of consciousness there
