So it occured to me that if my mother has been lying to my family for years about my behavior, perhaps she had lied to me about theirs. In particular, I am concerned about the truth behind my mother's portrayal of my biological father. My mom and bio dad divorced when I was three and I have not seen him, or any of his family members since I was four. Throughout my life, we kept in touch with my paternal grandmother through letters, but that was our only contact. My mom spent much of my life alluding to my father's terrible behavior, temper, drunkeness, etc. What if all of this was also embellished by my mom's drama queen mind? I know nothing for sure, it appears.
I have no clue what my next step is. But I will be discussing this with my sister when she comes next week. My sister has had contact with our dad. She has confirmed that he is a loser. I guess we need to determine if we want to hear his side of the story. Ugh. I hate crap like this.
