Something people may not know about me is that I lost my mom at age 2.
Let’s back track, when my grandparents came from Portugal, they had 3 girls, Rosa, Irene and Leslie.
Rosa married David and had Nicole, Daniel and Michael.
Irene married Chris and had Nathan, Brandon and Krista.
I do want to get into the connection I have with Brandon and his condition he was born with but that will be for another time.
Back to my Mom, Leslie, she had me at age 20. Here’s how it all went down, she dated Roy for a number of years and then one day went to Alabama to marry my birth father, that she met online. She brought him back to Ontario and they lived here. When she was 4 months pregnant with me, he left. I don’t think he was ready for a child.
Roy laughed and teased Leslie about her pregnancy but her love for me, as her unborn child, it didn’t let that EVER doubt keeping me.
When I was born, her words, I was the best thing that has ever happened to her.
My biological father, Robert, never came back. Until one day Leslie and I were in a car accident.
Leslie ended up passing away.
A month later Robert showed up with his new girlfriend and his other kid, who was only a few months old. Funny how he didn’t want me but wanted his this random other kid, not even his WIFES kid?
After years of custody battling, he lost, and good, he didn’t even fight or want me in the first place. I’ve now talked him online and I’m glad I stayed with my family.
Rosa and David adopted me, and I now call them Mom and Dad, since I was only 2 years old when this all happened. I have 3 siblings now.
On my biological Dads side I have two siblings, Travis and Emili. Their kind of cool, I guess.
My family didn’t tell me until I was 11 of what all happen, and they didn’t even tell me, I found out on my own. I put the pieces together.
In conclusion, I now have some detachment problems, from having my mom ripped away so quickly, and I have trouble trusting people, but I get by and I’m doing well.
I hope this helps some of you, I’ve shared my birth story with you, and I encourage you to share your stories with the world and help others! Have a great day/night!
