I wish I had that….
watching a “the Locator” marathon it makes me cry and jealous of all these people who find their family members and start to have great relationships with their family. Makes me cry. I wish I had that. I want a father. I want a mother. I want a sister. I want a brother.
I have a wonderful grandmother. She and grandpa raised me but I feel like her daughters always make sure that I remember i am NOT a daughter I am a granddaughter.
I wish I could have a read dad. I don’t want to hurt mine but he doesn’t know me. He knows a seven year old. THat is the last he really knew me.
I wish I had a mother. Mine doesn’t want a relationship. She will email every three months or so. But we didn’t talk from 4 until 18 and now an email every three months or so isn’t a mother.
I wish I had a sister. I have a half sister who has a family that she grew up with. Her dad raised her and she has brothers that way and everything else. She has no need for me.
I wish I had a brother. He was adopted. I friended him on facebook but don’t really talk to him. He has his own life and parents and siblings. I don’t want to butt in and he really has no need for another sister.
I just wish…..

I’m so sorry for your hurt.
Never forget where your Family is.
Being from a broken family can really screw you up. (Believe me, I know).
Agree with what the above poster says. God is Father, truer than any one on earth could ever be.
Oh, I am so sorry. That has to hurt.
That’s why we have the example of the Prophets, no perfect families. Adam-> Habel & Cabel / Cain & Abel. Noah-> Son is on the mountain as everything is overtaken by the flood and is just like, “Nah i’m good dad.” Lot -> wife wouldn’t listen. Abraham -> Dad kicked him out, still gave him props peacefully as he bounced. Yusuf/Joseph -> *brothers left him for dead*. Pharoah’s wife -> husband was… Pharoah =. Jesus -> Didn’t have a father, literally and biologically (at least for Muslims). (For Muslims Prophet Muhammad was an orphan, father passed before his time, mother passed while he was an infant, grandfather passed while he was a child, he was raised by an uncle, adored by all, yet after Prophethood his most staunch enemies would be none other than family, uncles/aunts. Every son of his died as an infant, and their deaths were celebrated by his family-turned-enemy, and he was mocked for this.) Every single story is history and is *filled* with immense pain. Such is this life. If you know it and can relate on the one part you can find strength in it. On the other you can prevent injustices from happening or help others fight the despair. But in order to make anything good of it you cannot be in despair or envy yourself, you must find a modicum of gratitude in the wealth of ungratefulness that we can find ourselves in at any given moment. And that can be done by looking at the people below you. There are people in even worse off. While this does not affect or trivialize your own issues, it should help put things into perspective (if you feel down looking up and not vice-versa… this is something else nagging at you for the sake of just that).
:/ I’m sorry.
((hugs))
You’re like a sister, dear kristen, for what it’s worth.
It has to be very difficult for you. I wish there was something I could do or say to help to fill in the empty spaces.
