Well, there it is.
Well, with finally getting to meet a half brother for the first time, I guess I was expecting too much. He's only been here a couple of days and I've been blown off with every attempt to spend time with him.
Then My Sis calls to talk to Dad and pulls the "Please don't tell Carol" crock.
I guess, I must be chopped liver or something..... So, Here I sit alone While Dad and everyone else is out sitting around the campfire having a good time.
I know, "Sucks to be you."
Maybe I need to just go home. Forget this whole Finding my family and forget they all exist.

Well something sucks,but it isnt you.You need to get to the bottom of this.Why would sis play the please dont tell game?Why doesnt dad intervene?Dont give up and go home,find out what is going on.There is no reason good enough to keep a family member out of the loop!And before you get depressed remember,you still have us!

This is hard for me. I moved across country after finding I even had a family. I've only been here less than two months. I have never felt more alone until I came here. Dad and Mom (Step Mom) have been totally great. I couldn't ask for greater friends than they've become. But, I know this is hard on the sibs. I guess in a way, I'm the interloper. This surprise from my Fathers past. But, Sis? I grew up with her. She was all I had for a long time.

My Mom and Dad divorced when I was very young. I grew up with Mom and Sis. Mom disappeared with us actually. 32 years later, I find Dad and two Brothers. Matt and I have been getting along pretty well. Ron used to call me as soon as he found out about me. He even kept me on the phone for 7 hours once. Now that he has a chance to get to know me before he heads off to San Diego, I'm chopped liver. Sis? She's always had issues with me. After years of drugs, there's her version of reality and what really happened. Dad told me that she's having probs with her hubby. Why she wants to keep it some big secret? I dunno. I have tried to be as helpful as I can 'cause she has her health issues too. But, I'm at a loss.

Well things can get a little loopy when it comes to women,drugs,and reality.I would take Ron aside,away from everybody else and say,Did I do something to offend you?It seems as though you are trying to avoid me.And then I would tell my Dad just how I felt,and that I want to be a part of the family not an outcast.See what they have to say,the worst that can happen is they will say things you dont want to hear and then you can pack up and go home.But at least you know in your heart that you gave it your best shot.On the other hand,this might put a light on the situation and get them to realize what is happening,giving them a chance to straighten things out.

I won't get a chance to take Ron aside and talk to him. He's leaving in the morning. I wasn't invited to this little get together that everyone at either. That's why I'm sitting here alone doing laundry and cryin' to you. Sis doesn't want to talk to me or she would have called me.

Well,unless you took a dump in somebodies oatmeal I cant think of any logical reason to leave you out.As a father,there is no way I would allow one of my children to be cast aside at a family gathering.You need to ask you dad what is going on or being said behind your back.

When she chose the drugs over family, I turned her out. I didn't want the stuff around me. I don't approve of the lifestyle. I told her family or drugs, make your choice. She chose the drugs and there's been this rift between us ever since. So, yes. I spent many years alone since. Right now, She's in Colo. I'm here in Illinois..

I don't know that if I could change that decision if I would. But, I do regret the time lost.
EDIT:
Yeah, Dad knows. He doesn't want to get involved in sibling issues. I don't want to bring him into it either. He's had a quad bypass and two sets of stints. I don't want him stressing over it. I came here while I have the chance to get to know him. To that, he's been great. Me? I know I can be oversensative, and most times, I don't say anything because of his health.
