[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, thank you, PP.  This is OP.  So am I getting this right - your parents divorced when you were 8, and then, when you were 10, your father introduced you to your half-sibling without telling your mother that this half-sibling exists first?

What was the story your mom told you, when she did tell you? [/quote]

I concluded my father was a selfish bastard. He was a functioning alcoholic, gambled, and he cheated on her. She knew about the child before he left and didn't tell my siblings and I but was none too happy when my father told us she existed. My mother still tried to make the marriage work. His love child is 7 years younger than me but he left when I was 8- so she was conceived when I was around 6. What's so interesting is, when he was alive, I had 2 siblings when I was with or around my mother and my mother's side of the family. When I was with or around my father and his side of the family I had 5 siblings. That was to protect and respect my mother's feelings. But now, as an adult, I have 2 siblings. Period. Like I said, we no longer speak.[/quote]
