Maria, my mom, and I went to visit some of my dad's side of the family, but my grandma was the only one home. So we talked to her for awhile. Well Maria and I didn't talk, because my grandma only speaks spanish and we're too embarassed to speak it, so we just sit and listen. lol My mom is all fluent though. She totally sounds like she's Mexican, but she's not. I really should just quit being shy about it and speak. It's not like my family is going to make fun of me. I'm sure they'd be so giddy if I did. I don't know. I'll start talking when I go to Mexico again. lol
So anyways, my grandma was giving us all the latest gossip on the family. Then she started talking about how she has 32 grandkids. Yeah that's a fucking lot. haha And then we started counting just to make sure. When we got to how many kids my dad has, my grandma said 7. Maria, my mom, and I just looked at each other like "WHAT!!!!" We only know of 5. My grandma said they're like 8 years old now and they're TWINS!! Ahhhh that's just weird. I just recently found out that I had another sister. She's like 11 years old now and her name is Dora. And now I find out about 2 more. Jesus fucking christ. When will it end!? Those 3 all have the same mom and live in Mexico. I'd like to meet them whenever I go back there. Oh god it's going to be weird. I'm 1 out of 7 kids for my dad. Ahhhh that is just so weird. I can't even describe what I'm feeling.
It's always just been me and Maria. I've always known my older brothers. But they've lived in Mexico all their lives, so I only saw them when I visited. We always had great times though. One of them moved here with my dad awhile ago and I saw him quite a lot, but still. I always have to remind myself that he's my brother. And I haven't seen my oldest brother in 11 years. AND now I have 3 siblings (2 sisters and a brother) that I don't even know. You know, they're just something really wrong with that.
I think what it really comes down to is that my dad is a slut. lol I'm not mad at him at all. I just wish he would have told Maria and me. We found out about Dora and the twins from other people. And when we confronted him about Dora, Maria asked if he had any other kids and he just laughed and said no. I think he said that because he didn't believe the twins were his back then. But my grandma says they look exactly like him. Oi. My dad is retarded. But I love him.
I don't know...in a way it kinda hurts that I have to share him with more people. I know that sounds so selfish. But I don't want to share him. He's my dad. I know that's such a horrible thing to say, but I can't help it.
This definitely was an interesting day.
