Family is suppose to have each other's back, be supportive, and always be a team. My adopted family life growing up was exactly the opposite. There was a lot of vindictiveness, jealousy, and perverted acts.
Vindictiveness
A sister 9 plus years my senior made sure that she stayed on top of her vindictiveness game when it came to me. I was told by my adopted mother, as I previously let you all know, that my older sister was like that because she was mad that she was not adopted by them. Instead they chose to adopt me.
Jealousy
Being adopted into a family that was about material things created a lot of jealousy between my cousins and I. Also, it didn't help that I was very smart when it came to school and being a competitive winner in many outside activities. I was told by my closest cousin later in life that she was always jealous of me because my parents would brag about how smart I was and her parents would compare us by saying why to her, why cant she be more like me.
Perverted
My so-called adopted big brother and my male cousin would do things to my somewhat challenged female cousin and I that would be unacceptable in a real family. My adopted father would copy pornography on our big screen TV in the basement while we were home and able to visibly see what he was recording.
Family or Foe? I choose Foe for my adopted parents and siblings allowing vindictiveness, jealousy, and perverted acts to go on causing emotional stress within myself as well as my female cousins.

This was just a little follow-up background to give since I have been away for about 2 years from blogging.

I am re-introducing myself to my blog at this time since it has been sooooo long. I have a past that needs to be heard and un-bottled to release what I have been keeping in for so many years. I stopped blogging because my life appeared to be to busy to share my story at the time. With that being said, that just means I have a lot more to tell you when the time presents itself!!!!
Stay tuned.
comment if you would like to hear more about a certain topic that I have already began to address, or about one particular family member that I have introduced.
Having a family that values love, honesty, and trust is truly a blessing. But one turn of events can change these values into a life of deception. Being blinded by what was taught to be love, honesty, and trust, the thought of being adopted never came to light in my mind. But as we all know, as the world turns so does our lives.
Thank you
This blog is dedicated to those individuals who chose me to be a part of their family. I thank them for making it possible for the memories to write this blog. I commend them for creating the memories that gave me the strength to express myself through writing. Most of all, I am grateful to be able to share my experience with my readers.
Without my past, there would be nothing to share
To my children:
You are my loved ones, my babies. You are the three best blessings that God could have given me. I love you and am thankful for your support and shoulders through everything
