can’t we just…?

I posted a pic of my dad on Facebook and I wanted to tag my siblings cause I don’t think they’ve ever seen it. Then I thought it would be nice to tag my half sister too. Then I thought maybe I shouldn’t cause they don’t talk. In the end I tagged nobody.

It seems that I’m the only one who had a positive experience on meeting her. My brother at this point is open to reopening a relationship with her. My sister is adamant she wants nothing to do with her.

I feel sometimes like I’m betraying them by having a relationship with her, although they’ve assured me it’s not the case. But loyalty is important to me. I always feel torn.

It helped a lot when my mom met her. They got along really well and I felt like I had someone on my side so to speak. But it still pains me that there’s this fracture. My half sister is much more pragmatic about it than I am and just accepts it as it is. I have middle child syndrome… I just want everybody to get along.
