hello cool @Meowmy ,i hope you have a great night 🙂

@SmilingGecko thank you for sharing about your siblings. Mum always half joked that I may have a half sibling in Vietnam because dad could never remain faithful to any of his partners.

My oldest brother lives with me and aside from the occasional spat we get along well and I am grateful for his support when I am struggling mentally.
Dad cheated on mum with what became his second wife and I got along well with her and my three step siblings. It's only since dad's death that I have had feelings of resentment because she is the reason my parents split up. Wife #2 actively pursued my dad because he was an officer in the army and she wanted the prestige that came with his position. She got herself pregnant and he pretty much knew he'd have to marry her so he ditched mum, my bro and I. Dad and #2 had 3 kids, my eldest sister A who is a petty toxic narcissist, second sister B who stopped talking to me over 10 years ago because of sister A and her manipulation, then brother C who I loved and got along with great until his death in 2010. I know that if he was still alive there wouldn't have been all this BS concerning my dad's will and his wishes. Sister A never told my brother and I that dad had chosen the date which he wanted to pass as he was euthanised. I have forgiven my sister for not telling bro and I but it still hurts. Today I am particularly emotional about it all so it stings just that bit more.
I think, no I know I will be better off with her once everything regarding dad's wishes is settled and done.
She lives in NSW so I haven't seen her in a long time. I had at one staged planned on mentioning her in my will but after all this she can go pee into the wind!
Not having kids or a partner I will probably leave my estate to a cat rescue lol! I have lovely cousins who have kids so they will probably benefit in reality.

How do you feel about not having a relationship with your siblings? The past year I have had 2 aunts and a cousin disown me and at first I was upset but then I remembered a saying that mum always tells me (I think it's by Dr Seuss) "Those that mind don't matter, and those that matter don't mind."

I have my cousins who I love, and aunt who is like a second mum, my brother and of course my wonderful momsie as I call her. It hurt at first when these family members cut me off but now it really doesn't bother me. As a person of faith I believe it is God who has helped me get over it but I know there are other beliefs that also help people who don't follow Christianity to get past the pain of rejection.

Hope your day is going well sweetie, you have become an important part of my online life xo

Hiya @Bill16

It's the weekend!!! Is all I can say lol

How goes you?

Enjoy the girls' night out @Meowmy !

gday @StuF it goes alright ay,smashed a couple of tall ones,copped a shine

@TAB thanks mate, yeah the worst part is being unable to change the situation. I don't want to stoop to her level but I want to be heard and not have her spend the rest of her life telling everyone she was the only one of dad's kids who did anything for him.

So next Friday huh? How long will you be in hospital for? I too am going to put you on my prayer list to ensure everything goes smoothly.

I'd send flowers but sending a bunch to "TAB" may not get to you!! Look after yourself xo

Good one @Bill16 👍
