Family Portrait

It wasnt too long ago that I had almost no one, family wise that was. Then I had estranged Dads reappearing and runaway Step-dads trying to contact me; now I have secret sisters coming out of the woodwork. Not just one but two, twins. They were just there living in my hometown my whole life, they even went to my school and no one felt the need to let me know. That might have been good information to have, especially with how things have been. Having a couple of sisters might just have come in handy.

What do you wear when you go to meet family you never knew you had? What on earth do I say? They must hate him, he abandoned them but not me. Why me? Maybe they resent me too, it wouldnt be surprising really. How do I tell them that however much it hurt to be abandoned that they were almost definitely better off? There will be so many elephants in the room during this meeting I dont see how it would be possible to breathe.

Maybe it will be fine, even nice. We could even get on. Besides people like me can't go around turning down family.
