Hello,

Not sure if this is the proper place for this and will move it if I have to.

Growing up, I only had my mother and it was a Mexican American household. By the time I got to HS, I had a few comments about my skin color, namely "it looks black mixed with white" tan/caramel color
I brought this up to my mother and she said my father's side is mixed black and I'm cursed. 🙄 (Possibly narcissistic mother. Don't get me started on her because I could write a novel).
So that's something I slowly got used to during the years.
When meeting my father ( approx. 7 years ago) I also discovered he's half Israeli. So now I have to get used to that. For some reason, if I mention it to anyone, they expect me to be Jewish 🤦🏾*♀️

A few weeks ago, my mother had brought it up that she and the family are associated with an Apache tribe.

At this point, it's safe to say I'm a rainbow but it's hectic to keep up with. Not sure exactly how to feel.
