Ok, I need to vent a little bit. I've be reunited with my birth mom, dad, sister, and brothers. I've got a great relationship with my birth mom and all of that part of my family: grandparents, aunts, cousins, etc. I'm just getting to know my birthdad and his girlfriend. They're really cool, and everytime we get together, we have a blast.

Now comes the only person in this whole bag of happiness who's been sour—bdad's mom. Her name is Barbara, and she's the one who made my bdad abandon my bmom way back when. Now that I've found him, he's all happy, but his mom--Barbara-- refers to me as That Girl, not his daughter or any relation whatsoever. I highly doubt I'll ever get to meet her. I feel bad for her, because I'm told that she's an art teacher and that's what I'm going to do after I get my master's. I'm willing to bet that we like a lot of the same things. But what I don't tell anyone is how mad this makes me. Seriously, she's never met me, I was raised by completely different people (Barbara hates my bmom), and you'd think (or at least HOPE) that an adult would act better. She knows nothing about me whatsoever and thinks I'm a horrible person/monster, and I hafta say, it's just the teeniest bit hurtful. So I'm venting. Thanks for reading!
