My situation is slightly different. My older brother was stillborn, but my parents didn't tell me until I was 21. I found out when I was on the phone with my dad the night before my wedding, and he said, "Are you sure you want to do this? I think you're too young. You know, the only reason your mom and I got married when we did is because she was pregnant." Now, I'm the eldest of 3, and my parents were already married for 2 years before I was conceived, so... yeah, I did the math and it didn't add up. Then he told me that I was supposed to have an older brother, but he was stillborn. NOBODY in my family had EVER told me this. Is that fucked up or what? I still don't know why they waited so long to tell me this. *sigh*
Communication is a foreign concept in my family.
