12676206, RE: do any of you have an estranged sibling? Posted by dustin, Mon Dec-15-14 05:53 PM
I have a half brother who is 12yrs older but I didn't meet him till my teen yrs. Actually didn't know he existed before the day I met him... Now that I think about it, if it wasn't for Facebook I probably wouldn't know much about him.
>are you righteous about it? Not really, I blame it on circumstance... I keep in touch with him but the fact is that I grew up in a house with 2 other brothers and he wasn't one of em. He had a dope wedding earlier this year and we had to avoid it cause of family static but I would've loved to attend.
>do you plan to re-connect? I tried to reconnect in the 4 yrs during college when I lived geographically close to him but it never happened. I think we will reconnect eventually or I'll see him over holidays. I still mention him when people ask if I have siblings.
>is it your fault? NAH. I think he's just so much older and we rarely converse so when we do it's the standard "How've you been?" talk
>what do your parents have to say about it? I bet my dad regrets not being in his life more.
