Half Sibling Advice

[Littlehelper101]

Half sibling advice:

I’m 24 and have 2 half sister and 2 half brothers from my dad side all around 10-20 years older.

I also have 3 half siblings from my mums side, I have grown up and lived with them and view them as my full siblings.

I see my 2 sisters from my dads side maybe once every 2 years adhoc and speak to them once a year.

I have not seen or spoken to my 2 brothers since 2004 at my grandads funeral.

I have them both on Facebook since 2010 but nothing no one has reached out ever and I haven’t either. I find myself scrolling through there life’s knowing nothing about them and also thinking why do they not care about me or what I’m doing why is there no relationship!

My sisters and brothers from my dad side are all very close.

Just to add my dad left his ex wife and 2 years later got with my mum and had me.

As the new year looms I think about maybe reaching out - what do you think I should I do?

Do it. Worst that can happen is the zero communication you're having now, right?

This makes me feel so sad as I have a baby with my partner and his kids from his previous marriage (similar age gap and ended two years previous to meeting me also) will not accept it or her. We are trying everything and will continue to do so.

I am so scared of a situation developing like the one you described and her wondering why they don't want her.

All I can say to you is that it is their loss. In my case the mother is a very bitter woman and she is doing her best to raise angry self-entitled daughters.

Do reach out because they may have been led to believe you aren't interested. If they don't respond remind yourself you have your own family around you.
