Are there any step-family members or Half-siblings in your family? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Ireneparalegal · 03-22-2006, 06:26 PM

My father married almost 15 years after my mom died and he and his wife had a son. So I have one half-brother, aside from my sister. My oldest brother died in 2002.

I have two step-daughters ages 27 and 22, they each have one daughter. So, I guess that makes me a step-grandparent...

my two daughters (ages 17 and 22) are step-daughters to my man. My man and I have a son (4 years old)...so my daughters have a half-brother, but they don't consider them a half-brother...in their eyes and hearts, he is their full brother.

I consider my half-brother my HALF brother only because his mother brainwashed him into thinking we are not fully related therefore, he is MORE SPECIAL to our father. I had hoped he would see how wrong that was for her to do that, but even though he is 30 years old, he kinda has this resentment towards me and my sister for HAVING OUR FATHERS' LOVE MORE THAN HIM.

Our father passed away in 2004 and he was special and loving and he never made anyone of us feel different from the other. He loved us all with all his heart. My sister, my late brother and I were adopted and my father would get upset when people referred to us as NOT BLOOD RELATED. He always made it a point that we were HIS CHILDREN NO MATTER WHAT.

One half-sister, 16 years older than me. She's nice, but she always seemed a bit resentful because our dad was around me growing up and because she didn't have two parents like I did. She's never done anything rude, she just gives off vibes. My dad has never called us half-siblings, just regular brother and sister.

GARFIELDKOOL · 03-22-2006, 06:56 PM

I have 3 half-brothers that are around my age that I know of because my father was unfaithful. Does that count, Irene?

Brieannas21 · 03-22-2006, 06:58 PM

Nope, I'm an only child. My parents married each other when they were young and I'm their first and only child. So I'm very very very spoiled.

I know I have step brothers/sisters out there somewhere but I don't know specifics, I never met them

Michael [hXc] · 03-22-2006, 08:09 PM

i have 3 step sisters and 1 step brother. my dad got remarried. two of my step sisters are a year older than me (15), and the other one is 18. my step brother is 20. i see all of them regularly when i go to my dad's house on weekends. i get along with all of them.

i also have a bunch of step cousins (my stepmom's nieces and nephews) and one of them is in my grade at school, one of them is a year behind us. the others are either a lot older or a lot younger.

Polniaczek033 · 03-22-2006, 09:24 PM

I have a half sister who's 21. My mom had her with her first husband and then they divorced and remarried and had me a few years later. I've always considered my half sister my sister because I never really remember her dad being around when we were younger.. plus, she's always lived with us anyways.

Hi,

With my dad's first wife, he had 3 sons. And with my mom's first husband she had 10 kids. Than they got married and had me. So I have 7 step sisters, and 6 step brothers.

That's my exact situtation except my half-sister is 15 years older than me. I didn't find out we were half sisters until I was 12 or 13. I'm really that bad at math, I guess.

Even before I found out though, I always felt like there was something between us. I grew up like an only child because we never lived in the same house.

dawsongirl · 03-23-2006, 02:33 AM

Me, no. I'm an only child and my parents are still married.

My dad, yes. Technically he has some step....somethings out there somewhere that belong to his *shivers* step-father. I think if they all put their brains together, they'd have almost one. At least that's what I've heard...I don't know the people nor do I care to meet them. They aren't my family. By the time my grandmother married that thing she married, my dad and uncles were all grown and out of the house, so it's not like they were ever a "family" anyway.

Can you tell I don't like my grandma's husband?? I don't even consider him my grandfather. My cousin does, but that's her problem.
