Hi Meeshell,

Wanted to say, Welcome to PC. I can relate a bit about feeling disconnected from a half sib. I'm the oldest between myself and a half sister, a 16 year difference. I grew up an only, how bizarre needing to exclaim "grew up an only", I am the only child between my mom and dad. Dad remarried when I was 15 and after him having custody since divorce when I was 9/10 , about a month before my sister was born he sent me off to live my mom who was remarried no kids between her and my stepdad.
Things were bitter between ny father and I after that. There's really no connection between her and I, even all these years later.
It really stinks because like you wrote, blood is blood, why isn't the bond naturally occurring? *sigh*

I'm at peace with it. I'm sharing about me to let you know I can relate to what you are saying.
