I Lack a Sense of Family With My Family

Black Sheep is still a sheep.

I'm so sick and tired of how my parents treated me differently than my other siblings that I once introduced myself at a family wedding that goes,

'hello, I'm the black sheep of the family. Nice to meet you.' :)

I understand this on so many levels

@kyky16 it sucks!

@mistfox yes it does. And for me it doesn’t help because I literally disagree with a lot of my family all the time

@kyky16 lol same! Maybe that's why we're the Black Sheep.

My family once went for a trip to Korea. There were 5 of us in the family. We went with a tour group.

One time we stopped for lunch and I walked to the restaurant fast because I want to make sure we got the table so we wont have to split up and sit with strangers. I got the table but all of them were for 4 people. Guess who my family pushed away and had to sit with other people's family? Yeap. Me. So awkward sitting there sharing meal with a family that's not my own while my own family is a couple of tables away.

This happened for the entire trip.

@mistfox that is awful. Im sorry. My mom can relate to that. When ever my whole family gets together and go to eat my mom gets pushed to the kiddie table even when the adult table has enough seats for her

@kyky16 I'm sorry to hear about your mom...its honestly, an awful feeling. My heart breaks for her... 😞
