[QUOTE="nerfherder, post: 664594, member: 15907"] Oh I want this to be long. I so do. But am on phone thumbtyping. Blacksmith introduces me as his adopted sister, and that's how people in town know me. His dad and stepmom always invite me along when they visit and take the kids out (but knowing family history I don't accept. I like them well enough as they are now but won't set myself up to be used as ammunition if things sour again. Blacksmith stayed out of touch for decades for justifiable reasons, in my opinion. RN's mom treats me like family, and we both chatter up a storm (much to annoyance of others sometimes) when she visits. The four little Vikings - what can I say? I would die or kill to protect them. My ex sister in law and I talk occasionally. She thinks DEX really screwed up and can be an idiot sometimes, but still loves him. My own family... Nothing like what the worst of you have experienced, but I feel like if my dad hadn't died when I was 9 he would have gotten me more into the mechanical and carpentry world I am learning to love, and he would have shot mom down the second she tried the "girls don't do that" line on me. Maybe I'm wrong but kinda hard to know for certain. My brother was the Difficult Child and has grown out of a lot of that but like most of my mom's peers he has no clue why I live like I do, and he was pretty abusive to me in our childhood. Anger management issues. Mom at least has a clue, not a big one but having done a bit of farming herself she gets it a little. [/QUOTE]
