Doppelganger (and Family) Rant 1.2

[serpentqueen13]

So, unsurprisingly, my doppelganger has been wanting to spend 'quality twin time' with me because of it being our birthday.

(Read: She'll leave us alone for another six months after this)

So, after having a brilliant day at the company picnic, including winning a telly and cursing at bingo, we head into Reading to see the sister. Can you tell

At least you somewhat like your nieces and nephews. We're talking about people I hate.

And what problem should dad discuss with Becky's parents? I'm confused.

Right. And any logical person is supposed to believe the Lifetime Movie of the Week story they fed us? Stolen from a hospital my arse.

That's not seriously what they told you, is it??

[serpentqueen13]

Whoo boy. The whole story is stranger. When they gave me up for adoption they told the family that I died at birth.

Obviously this causes a tad bit of a problem when I track them down 15 yrs later. So now the official stance is that they never dreamed of giving me up, that I was stolen from the hospital and had a little baby funeral and they had no idea I was alive.

Completely ignoring all the social workers reports and the federal paperwork and that shite, of course. They expect me to believe this. I don't. My sister does. Hence, drama.

See what I mean about the Lifetime Movie of the week plot?

[orimornie]

OK... I'm confused... Your parents had you, then told their families that you died? And actually had you adopted?

[serpentqueen13]

Yep. I was the sicker of the pair of twins so they gave me up for adoption, kept my sister and told their entire family I died.

doing things for appearences is bothersome, isn't it?

[serpentqueen13]

V. bothersome, sometimes I hate it.
