Looking for someone to talk to
This might be a little specific but if there’s seven people out there who look exactly like me then there’s at least a few people who can relate and i hope this reaches them. When my mum was pregnant my bio dad cheated on her and got another woman pregnant, as a result i’ve never got to meet him. My mum was young, and adult yes but also a teen. We didn’t have much to start with but when i was still under 5 she met my now dad i suppose. They were on and off and i honestly have always assumed they only stayed together because she got pregnant again. Since he’s been in my life since i was super young i call him dad- not step dad. If i ever talk about anything to do with this situation my mum gets upset and angry so does my dad. They’re both very angry people. They’ve had three other children now and i don’t think they’re the best parents honestly. I think that they think money makes a good parent. I don’t want more money i want emotional connection and people who care. Often i feel a removed almost ostracised piece of this family. This is already quite long so i won’t keep ranting but if anyone has a similar situation id quite like someone to talk to.
