Hi my name is Jerrie.And I am sure like everyone in the group I joined due to difficulties with family members.I am the youngest child in my family.And as my mom has stated was unexpected.Both parents were alcoholics.Loss my dad to a fight in a tavern/bar when I was nine.I was consideerd daddy's girl and was treated very poorly by my mom and other siblings after my dad was killed.Especially my sister she was adopted by my dad as a young girl and when she was thirteen my dad told her she had been adopted.I do feel compassion for my sister finding out she was adopted at the age of thirteen had to been very hard.Of course I was not the reason my sister was told she was adopted but to my sister she thought my dad told her due to he did not love her as much as his other children who had not been adopted.My sister is the oldest and there is quite a bit of age difference between us.My mother also became angry and had begged my Dad not to tell my sister she was adopted.So after my dad was killed they ganged up on me I felt.Nine years old devastated by having loss my dad the only person who in my mind loved me.I am fourty-three years old.After the tragedy of losing my brother.Things seemed better with the family.I was no longer treated like I did not exisit or when noticed was tormented either with verbal or physical abuse.My mother quit drinking but still compares me to my other siblings as if I was found under a rock.And only wants me around when she needs me to do something.Don't get me wrong I love my family just tired of the let down from not being loved or accepted by them.Sorry this is so long had a lot on my mind.
