Pretty chill. Nothing too dramatic. I didn't grow up in chaos, and my story isn't one of those where you escape from some terrible household or fight through wild adversity. Quite the opposite, actually. My parents, both 59, my mom and dad, are literally the coolest people I know. Like, no joke. If I had to describe the ideal parents, it'd just be them.

No notes. They're kind, funny, smart, patient, and best of all, they're my best friends. We have this connection that's always felt really strong. We hang out, go camping on weekends, and joke about the dumbest things. My dad and I cook dinner together a lot, it's like our little nightly ritual. My mom and I do the outdoors stuff. They've always made sure I felt safe, loved, supported, and never alone. And they were always big on breaking traditional gender roles. No, Dad works, mom cooks, vibes. Everything was shared. I've never once felt like there was something missing. Honestly, if you asked me to find flaws in them,

I'd come up blank. Yeah, we've had arguments, like anyone does, but we always talk it through. Hugs come after every tough conversation. I was raised as an only child, well, mostly. Technically, I have three older half-siblings, two sisters and a brother. Let's call them Donna, 38, Kelly, 36, and John, 33. They're from my dad's first marriage. I don't remember much about them. Just blurry flashes, like a dream I had a long time ago. I have vague images of John being around when I was super little, but then one day he just wasn't

anymore. Kelly and Donna. Total ghosts. I've never really met them. But they weren't forgotten or ignored. Oh no, we talk about them all the time. They come up in stories and old memories. My parents never made them sound like a taboo topic. It's just, they were never around. So their presence was more like a concept than a reality. I knew their names, their achievements, what they looked like in old. photographs, but not who they really were. Their mother, Nala, was my dad's first wife. She passed away before I was born. From everything I've heard, she was amazing. My mom, who you'd expect to maybe feel weird about the first wife, was always incredibly respectful

when talking about her. Whenever I'd make dumb, offhand jokes or comments that maybe lean disrespectful, my mom would shut it down immediately. Be kind, she'd say. She'd say, She's part of this family's story. She gave life to your siblings. Honor her. That stuck with me. But, real talk. I've seen pictures.

And yeah, there's no mistaking it, those three, John, Kelly, and Donna, look nothing like me. Their mom, Nala, was black. My parents are white. I came out looking like, well, like them. Pale skin, brown hair, kind of average everything. Not bad looking, but I'm not turning heads, you know. But my siblings, they're beautiful. Like, breathtakingly so.

Donna looks like a goddess with these piercing gray eyes and silver-toned hair that makes her look like the real-life version of Storm from X-Men. Kelly has a smile that you feel when she flashes it. I'm talking, make your day better even if you were in the worst mood, kind of smile. And John. Charisma through the roof. He has this energy in photos, like he's the guy everyone wants to talk to. I've always felt like a cheap knock-off version of whatever genes created them. In some strange way, I was almost relieved they weren't around while I was growing up, it meant I didn't have to constantly compare myself to their perfection. I used to ask about them

when I was younger. And the story was always the same, they love you, but it's hard for for them. Being close to us after losing their mom, it felt like betrayal to her. That's why they stayed away. But one day, when you're older, you'll be able to reach out. And they'll be there. They've always cared for you. It was never presented with bitterness, just sadness and understanding. And the thing is, they did reach out in their own way. Every birthday, every Christmas, every important moment, I'd get something from them. A letter, some cash, little thoughtful notes. They never forgot about me. And I never forgot about them. It was like having pen pals that you dream of meeting someday. I built this fantasy in my head that when I turned 18, I'd go find them,

and we'd finally be a family. One big, complicated, beautiful reunion. I imagined the tears, the hugs, I imagined catching up on lost time. That's what my parents told me too. That when I turned 18, it would be my decision. We've done our best to respect Nala and your siblings' grief, they'd say. But when you're an adult, it's your choice. If you want to find them, do it. They'll be waiting, and so I waited. I turned 18 three weeks ago. The first thing I did was sneak into my dad's old contact book. I found an address for Kelly. Three days ago, I got on a bus, nervous and full of hope. I imagined our conversation a million different ways. Maybe she'd cry. Maybe she'd hug me right away. Maybe we'd go for coffee and laugh like old friends. I had it all

planned out in my head. But nothing could have prepared me for what actually happened. What happened three days ago changed everything. So let me paint the picture, I knock on the door. I'm nervous, sweating, totally unsure of what I'm doing. I have no idea if she still lives there, or if this is even going to work. But I've come this far, so I take the leap. The door opens, and there she is, Kelly. She looks exactly like the photos, but even more real, more grounded. She stares at me for a second, and I'm about to speak when she says, Lee, my heart nearly bursts. Yeah, I say, trying to keep my cool. It's me. She opens the door wider and tells me to come in. We sit. It's quiet. Awkward. She offers me tea. I say yes. She makes it exactly how I like it, black, no sugar, just how my dad makes it.

That makes me feel a little safer. Then comes the talk. Not the one I imagined. Not full of love and catching up and laughter. Instead, she tells me something I never expected to hear. We didn't leave because of grief, she says slowly. We left because we were pushed out. I blink.

What do you mean? She takes a breath. Your mom didn't want us around. I shake my head. That's not true. She always talked about you. Always told me to be respectful of Nala. Kelly nods.

Yeah. Now she does. But back then, it wasn't like that. We weren't welcome. Your dad tried, but your mom made it clear, new family, new start. We weren't part of the plan. After our mom died, we were just reminders of something she wanted to forget. I don't know what to say.

My world starts to tilt. She changed, Kelly adds. Maybe she regrets it now. Maybe she's genuinely trying to make it right. But when it mattered, we were left out in the cold. It hurt too much to be around Dad when he was building a new life and pretending the old one didn't exist. I want to defend my mom. I want to scream that she's not like that.

But Kelly's eyes, they're not angry. Just tired. Sad. We didn't stop loving you, she continues. We sent letters. We followed your life through Dad. But we couldn't be a part of it. We weren't allowed to.

We talked for hours. About everything. Their childhood. What Nala was like. The years after her death. How hard it was. How Donna moved away first. Then Kelly.

Then John. How they all went their own paths because staying close was too painful. She told me about their successes. Their failures. The people they became. I sat there, just, stunned. And now, here I am. On a train.

Heading back home. Heart full of questions, head full of noise. What do I do with this? I love my parents. I really do. They raised me with so much love and care. But did they lie? Did they erase my siblings from our life to protect a fantasy?

Was my whole childhood a version of the truth, not the full picture? I can't ask them yet. I'm not ready. I don't even know how I feel. Betrayed? Confused? Angry? Sad?

All of the above. I always thought turning 18 would mean freedom. Independence New beginnings But I didn't expect it to come with this level of emotional whiplash. I'm stuck between two truths. One for my parents. One for my sister.

And I don't know which one to believe. I want to meet John and Donna now. I want to hear their side. Maybe Kelly's story is just her version. Maybe there's more nuance. Maybe the truth lives somewhere in the middle. But either way, everything I thought I knew about my life has shifted. This is just the beginning.

To be continued.
