Thanks
I know. It's disturbing, though, as you grow older and realise that you're more mature than people more than twice your age. I've tried to stay as naive as long as possible, seeing the best in people. Luckily it's working
as my husband thinks I can be annoyingly optimistic at times.
I know she had it rough. She was a widow and her middle child comes home and says he got a girl pregnant. What's interesting is that my bdad's little sister did the same thing after I was born. I believe that Aunt Nancy married the guy who got her preggers.
Then bdad got someone else preggers 4 years after I was born, and he married the lady because of it. Strange how the world works.
Strange how most of me says "who cares what she thinks," while a tiny part of me screams "I'm just as much her granddaughter as these other 2 kids are," and yet I'm the only one she despises.
But I'm glad I understand why I think that and that I have the capacity to also say "oh well, tant pis (french), too bad for her."
And it's awesome that I can put all of this in writing here! So color me happy. Thanks again!
