My youngest sibling (I have 7), got adopted while she was in the foster care system (my childhood and parents were pretty fucked). Forunately, her adopted parents are really amazing, kind people and got in touch with one of my other sisters and have since made every attempt to include all of us in our sister's life.
This week, my sister's adopted mother surprised my sister with a trip to Arizona partly to see the mother's friend but also so my sister could meet our brother and nephew for the first time. The adopted mother thought I still lived in Phoenix and was excited for me to be there as well... so needless to say, I immediately booked a plane ticket for the only 2 days I had free to go and now I'm here!

I'm very sorry to hear that. I was a very fortunate unfortunate kid if that makes sense. We didn't have much at all, but our parents would often go without so us kids could have. They tried to make it subtle, but I noticed.

My brother is a real dick. He likes to remind me that he makes $175k a year and I don't because I'm a loser. My parents were just relatives not really parents. Don't let anyone get you down for your choices in life. Even subtle kidding from a sibling can sometimes be hurtful.
