My family kept a secret from me for 30 years.
When it finally came out things started to make sense. Im the youngest of a family of four girls and me the only boy. My three oldest sisters are adopted (my mother married their father and had my half sister before he died). My mother was then briefly married to my father. I never considered my sisters as “half” or “adopted” they were just my sisters who I loved very much. My mother worked full time so my sisters who are between 6-11 years older than me took care of me most of the time. When my 3 older sisters grew up and moved away never stayed in contact with ME. They would still send letters and birthday cards to my half sister but not me. I never really understood it , I was good kid, I thought maybe it was a “girl thing” but it still hurt my feelings. I grew up feeling guilty of not trying hard enough to stay in touch. It was Christmas and I was at my mothers house, One of my sisters was on the phone and it was being passed around. It had been a while since I had talked to her and I was very excited to get my turn, When my mother said that I was waiting to talk to her she said she didn’t have time. It hurt me very much. A year later I brought my new girl friend to Thanks giving dinner. One of my older sisters was there who seemed get along with my girl friend very well. On the way home my girl friend dropped the “bombshell”, My sister told her that my father had molested her and another sister of mine. I couldnt believe it, Why now? Why to my girl friend? Now things started to make sense. I look alot like my father and im told have similar mannerisms. Since then I have still never discussed this with my family. I stopped trying with my three older sisters, Neither have ever so much as acknowledged my two children since they were born (I married the girl friend). Now im just mad. What did I ever do? Im sorry about this horrible thing that happened, But I am also a victim. I lost a father and three sisters.
