[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is your relationship like with half brother/sister? How long have you known them? How did you find out about them?

I'm interested in hearing people's experience on this. I do not have a real relationship with my half sister. Its not from lack of trying though. Her hate for our father, who neither one of us lived with, exceeds her desire to want a relationship. She feels that he favors me, and thus wants nothing to do with either one of us. So she effectively wrote us out of her life. I can't imagine how she feels about my father. It makes me sad that we cannot have a relationship.[/quote]

My situation is somewhat similar to yours.  Neither of us have ever lived with my father.  She is under the impression that he favors me and gives me more money.  The reality is that our mothers are from different socio-economic backgrounds, so any difference when we were growing up were due to that.  My dad IS NOT the type to try and even things out.  He is also stingy as hell.  Any difference now is due to our choice of careers.

A family even brought this all to a head - she no longer speaks to me and stopped speaking to him for a period of time, until she needed money.[/quote]
