No one grew up in a perfect household when your dad was nailing the cleaning lady.

She’s very Catholic

If you're right wing there's not much difference these days. And with that husband she has to be right wing Catholic if she even practices at all.

Maria has grown more devout as she has aged so I'm not surprised that her daughter is similar. In many ways she seems to be her mother's daughter

Generally I assume upward and arched is more attractive. Why am I so intrigued by this I don't know but compare mother and daughter and see

She looks average but at least not hideous like her mom.

Maria looks fine and her hair is amazing.

Takes a lot of courage to look at maria in the eyes....lovingly . Couldn't be me.

When I look at Katherine, the first thing that comes to mind is the French expression : Quel gâchis! , which literally means what a waste . A waste because I can't quite figure out why someone born with the resources she was born with/into couldn't possibly make something out of her life other than this contemporary version of the Stepford wife . But, if she's happy , good for her.

Having said the above , I can't help but be happy that I left religion behind since my early adulthood. The congenital hypocrisy that runs through the self-proclaimed religious crowd or, in this case, the self-proclaimed devout catholic is mind boggling . The fact that this so-called Christian hasn't made any attempt to even have a minimally cordial relationship with her Half brother tells you everything you need about these people and their inability to adhere to the basic teachings of their professed faith. I'm only slightly older than her and,unlike her, I'm aware of an unassailable truth about this life : It all comes down to circumstances. Specifically, she could've been the one borne out of an extra marital fling and he born into the marriage . He didn't ask to come into this world under those circumstances. If my father had fathered a child outside of his marriage , I wouldn't hesitate to at least initiate some sort of contact with my sibling,then again I'm not a devout catholic . *eye roll*

I disagree about your judgment of her in not wanting to know Arnold's son. This idea that she would be obligated to open her arms is a strange one, no one is obligated to have a relationship with anyone really. People are increasingly estranged from their biological parents with whom they have decades of history. Good on you for your belief that you woukd seek out contact. She's not you though. Obviously.

Men have been having children and second families since the beginning of time. My maternal grandfather in Italy had a "second family." They were not scorned by any means but they also were not invited to dinner. Your assumption that she must be close with him seems very presumptuous. I would have had no interest either. She has the right to decide what level of involvement she wants.

I don’t think there is anything extraordinary about her, but I don’t really fault her for relationship with her half sibling. She wasn’t aware he existed until much later in life and that must have been traumatic for her (which is why referring to her adolescence as idyllic and some kind of model of success is ridiculous in the first place.) a good friend of mine was in a similar situation at a similar age, and it ruined their relationship with their father. Despite being a good person, they don’t have much to do with the father or the sibling, who is still young. The father is more to blame for creating the situation than their children are for how they handle it.

DP. I don’t really have a view either way as I think half siblings relationships are different. However, she wasn’t unaware of his existence. She was unaware that he was her half brother. But the whole family knew him as their housekeepers son and he was initially passed off as her husband’s child and he visited their home frequently. Which I guess kind of makes it worse?

You're right she's not me, I'm an atheist . She, on the other hand, is the one presenting herself as devout catholic. Thank you for prooving my point about self-proclaimed religious people.

Two things :

1 . You read my comments but didn't understand
2. You read my comments and made up your own interpretation.

I said she appears to not have made any attempt to have a relationship with her sibling that is, at a minimum, cordial. Do you by any chance know what a cordial relationship is ? It appears not .

Wow, very unprofessional work but the author. If she can't keep her jealousy in check, she should decline the job.

I had no idea so many people were jealous of her. This thread is very interesting.

There comes a time when there has to be more coherence to an argument than just throwing the word jealous at any and every topic .

NP. That is a really broad brush being used to criticize, what sounds to me, ALL people who practice religion.
