Step Brother

Has any of you had step brother or sister?

How was/is your relationship with your step siblings? Hatred, love, indifference?

Did you know about them since birth or did u found out about them later?

Re: Step Brother

Indifferent.

I don't really see him as my brother, he's just another kid.

Over 20 years age difference and the fact that I don't live with him help a lot.

Re: Step Brother

Has it affected your relations with your parents?

Re: Step Brother

i have one and he is 10 years younger to me..v have a veryyy friendly relation though v dun live together...

Re: Step Brother

His mum is not my parent.

Yes.

Re: Step Brother

My responses are same as Milly's. I feel indifferent towards this sibling and don't feel that the other woman as my mother and it has affected the relationship with parents as well!

Re: Step Brother

I have 3 step brothers & I found out they were my step brothers at the age of. 13yrs, I was shocked at 1st that I didn't know this but it didn't change our relationship at all, however after they got married things changed to the worst and right now I don't hate them, I just don't like them for being idiots & brainless *****!

:hug:

I do however, believe that it should and possible could only effect one’s relationship with one’s parents if the parents allowed it too. Afterall, we are the children, they are the ‘adults’ They should have been prepared. Learning from mistakes also would have helped (as adults do make mistales too and it is allowed for them to make mistakes). However, some ‘adults’ fail to learn the same messages from the same mistakes.

Re: Step Brother

Well I dont know ! if i had any

Re: Step Brother

no i dont have any step bros or sis.

Re: Step Brother

yes, one and got to know about it when i was around 16 not much of an age difference but still formal with each other... relationship with parents has not changed, never think about it

Re: Step Brother

Allah ka shukar hai I dont. But I have a cousin, who is also my bestfriend and I know she has a few step siblings even though she and her siblings are not aware of it ( it is a family secret and has been for about 13years). Im scared what will happen when kids get to know about their father's second marriage. They cannot stand any1 talk smack about their dad.
I just hope Allah tala oon ko sabar dain cuz they lost their mom recently to cancer and may Allah protect them from more problems and worries. Ameen

Re: Step Brother

i don't but one of my closest friend had both step brothers and sisters and quite a few of them. there were 17 siblings in total but i didn't know that they were step brothers and sisters until i was like 15 years old. you couldn't tell the difference. a great family cohesion indeed! :)

Re: Step Brother

I realised that after I had posted. The boy I was talking about is actually my 'half-sibling' Really goes to show how much I care...I thought he was step sibling! ha ha

But yeh, he is half of my dad's and half of that thing's.

Sorry OP, I lied. Well, techinically my lack of concern confused me. You should now withdraw my statistic from this analysis.

Re: Step Brother

One of my parent have a step brother (same father different mothers). My parent is pretty indifferent about that brother. He/She always knew about it and felt bad because that step brother was always given better treatment , better education , better food & clothing etc. But now they are all grown ups and none of them really care.

Re: Step Brother

I found out that my grandmas dad was not her real dad, turns out my grandmas mom was married before, she had 6 kids with her first husband, then he abandoned her. My grandmas mom then remarried and had another 8 children from him. As far and my grandma was concerned all the siblings were treated equally and her step dad was her real dad. I was really shocked, there are not many men that would marry a divorcee with 6 kids in this day and age let alone 60 odd years ago.
