Family (part 1)
A divorce doesn't happen over a few days
It builds
For months and month, even years
Until someone snaps.
There is no way it started and ended in less than a year.
From my birth to my parents divorce was less than 1 year.
And i wasnt an accident.
My mom has repeatedly told me how hard she had to try to have me.
They both took supplements and pills for months before it worked.
They tried so hard
And ended up with me.
They'll never admit it but I know the truth.
One of two things is true and I dont know which is worse.
Either I was supposed to fix their marrage and failed.
Or I caused it.
There's no way they tired so so hard to have me just to turn around randomly less than a year later and decide they hate each other.
And they do hate each other.
Ive how they talk about each other now.
So I know I caused it in some way.
Either by fixing to solve it
Or by causing the split
Maybe it was the arguing over my name
Maybe it was because my mom wanted 4 kids but I ate my twin in the womb
Maybe its because im a awful person.
Ill never know.
They both refuse to tell me why.
So do my siblings.
I know its my fault.
And here we are
Almost 18 years later.
My dad would, at best, disown me if he knew I was trans
And my mom is disappointed in me.
I'm not as close to her as my sister.
And I know she loves her more than me
And I know im a disappointment to her
Even if she won't admit it.
Maybe its because I remind her of him
They all tell me how much I'm like him
My siblings and family on both sides
In looks
In mannerisms
In the way I act
I'm just like him
And I hate it
I dont want to be like him
I dont even want to be a boy
But I dont get that choice
So ill always be daddy's favorite boy.
I'm the only one who's stayed with him anyway.
Both my brother and sister moved out of there years ago
So now it's me, him, my step mom, and my step bro.
And they both hate my step bro because he's autistic and they can't handle the way he works.
So I'm my dads son
In every way that matters
