Maybe we can be of help to each other. I seem to be the daughter of queen beatrix. My family has kept this a secret for me for all these years because I am opposed to inherited monarchies (although I have never been active to destroy them). If my mother is the queen there are so many dirty secrets in that family that I understand they have kept this a secret. Growing up in this family I know a lot of the truth. \n\nThey have been trying to make my life - and the life of my african husband - impossible - and they have very likely planned several assisinations on my life.

Hello precious little sister Brown sugar.. :)\n\nYes, God change their hearts..my sister who lied to a Judge about me, when I tried to adopt my little grandaughter..said she would NEVER forgive me (she had raised my sweet little grandaughter since she was born, she is 5 now)..She wanted me to give up my daughters parental rights, so she could adopt her (my daughter suffered a brain injury due to a car accident and has the mental age of 8-10 years old, I am her guardian).\n\nI went home and prayed for my sister..I told God I loved her, I asked Our Heavenly Father to bless her and her loved ones..God spoke to my heart to go and see my sister so I did..She said she was sorry and that she had felt someone was praying for her..I told her that she can adopt my grandaughter..we hugged and we have been great friends ever since..Glory..Alleluia..\n\nIn Jesus Most Precious Name..\nWith Love..your sister..In Christ..

I have the very same situation.  You dont fix something that they dont wish to be fixed.  All you can do is love them both.  Accept the situation.  Believe me, it doesnt go away.  We 3 sisters are all seniors, and it remains as such.\nThey do not talk to each other.  I speak with both, but closer to one than the other.  The one, who is the first born, is the one who chooses as you describe. I am the youngest.  Just thought I'd toss these two items in to see if it correlates to your birth order as well.

Yes i would equally be curious because there's one part of the puzzle missing.  I would pursue this and get as much backing as possible. If you have a really good friend, ask her if she would like to help.  That way if you dont find him you have a close friend to turn to.  If your Mum at least knows his name that's a start.  the look in the births marriages and deaths register for more info.\n\nYou can find him if your Mum is helpful enough to give his name - then go from there.  It wont be easy and i dont envy you in the least but i think it's a good thing wanting to know the other half of where u came from.\n\nGood luck

I am mother, daughter, sister, teacher, cook, gardener, etc. depending on place, situation, and who I'm dealing with.  But it's all still ME! Just different aspects.  I believe the Creator works the same way. One Creator, many aspects.

I've noticed there are a lot of rash judgements made on here. I think most people that do that are trying to make up for their lack of authority in life (whether they're young or just generally feel inadequate). Possibly it is an accurate reflection of the world, possibly not. Don't let it get to you too much. Just focus on separating the wheat from the chaff. :)\n\nSorry to hear about your daughter and the challenges.

I'm ok, and I had an awful childhood.\nGranted, It's taken years to get myself balanced and to be able to accept my past. But from the day I went into care at 14, I decided I didn't want to be like the others around me... I had a rocky lot of teenage years. but who doesn't?\nI am now 24 and Mother to a beautiful 4 and a half year old girl.\nAnd even if I say so myself, I am a good Mum, my daughter is polite well mannered happy and loved. I think that one of the reasons I have done well with her is because, I swore that I would never do to her what my Mum did to me... I had to live with the consequences and it wasn't pleasant!\nSure, I'm not completeley un-affected by my past and even now I get stages where I don't understand why, or feel upset or betrayed. But I DO understand and know, that I will be the best Mother I can for my little one. And feel lucky that I was shown how bad things could be, so that I can break a cycle, and give my Daughter the future she deserves.

Kids can be so confusing and frustrating at times! I have a 9 yr old daughter, and understand what you mean. I think she is just testing the boundaries, and wants you to be consistent. It's hard, and it's also hard not to give in to them just to keep the peace. But it's very necessary not to let her think she's the queen! I think most of us acted the same way as kids, and now our kids are doing the same things to us. Plus, when they see some of their friends/peers getting more than them, it's hard. I try to use that as a lesson as 'life isn't always fair' - she hates that talk! But it's important to talk to your daughter. Share with her your thoughts and feelings, and allow her to share hers. Maybe these links will help a bit:\nhttp://www.raisingkids.co.uk/9_13/pre_htp03.asp\nhttp://www.mothering.com/discussions/showthread.php?t=388910\nBest of luck, and hold strong! That's what she needs most - consistency and love from you.

I think I might have an answer to part of your question, if I may. Of course, I can only speak from my own experience, but here goes. Maybe the reason we don't post questions about our relationships with our spouses, friends, family & other such issues is that we get our help from the Lord. We have His big book of answers, that helps guide us along our way. We also have each other, being connected by the same Spirit. We pray, asking God for guidance. We go to our Pastor's, asking for deeper answers from parts of the Scriptures that we're not acquainted quite so well with. You see, some issues need to be given into God's hands. You've seen some of the dating & relationship posts here...would you trust your relationship issue with most of the people that post on those sites? It's not intriguing when you think about it. But, one of the reasons I come to this site is to use my years of various experiences to help people. I don't always use Scripture, because it's not always required, especially when someone wants to know how to get wine stains out of their carpeting. Or how to get their two year old to talk. Things like that are practical, everyday experiences. Being that I've been married for over 28 years, raised two kids to adulthood, and have a mess of other experiences, I can help people...and I do. And yes, I am a "devout" Christian. I treat everyone with respect and answer every question carefully, even the ones that are nasty or just plain goofy. It's part of my nature to treat everyone as I would hope they treat me. For the most part, if you give respect, you get it back. This forum is a wonderful, yet scary thing. Through this site, I'm getting a different view of the world than the evening news ever could give me. There are just so many hurting young people out there, and I want to reach out to them. It's more than just the "mom" in me, it's the Lord Who is in me. Everything that gets to me has to go through Him first. I hope this helped answer your intrigues. <*)))><

It is really difficult to understand exactly what you are asking.  Do you mean the cousins won't talk to each other?  And how do you fit in?  Sounds like something you should just stay out of.

I don't really consider the Queen or Royal family to be "in power" as it is a purely ceremonial role nowadays.\n\nI really don't have any time for the Royal family as I consider them an irrelevant soap opera although I am happy to just ignore them if they are around.

My brother and I both grew up knowing from the start that we were adopted.  Yes we are biological brother and sister.  I don't feel that it affected me at all rather than the void of not knowing where I came from.  I think that I keep people at more of a distance now that I have been reunited with my birthfamily (due to alot of deceit and unanswered questions).

God has sustained you and your family, my sister. To find out more of this I lead you to The king James Bible to find out why He saved you! You believe in Him, I can see that. Perhaps you can build a new life around this faith and maybe even change your screen name to something less provocative for a Christian???LOL I hope you find more faith and turn you and your daughter's lives into something meaningful before our God. God bless you.

Dang that must be crazy for you. I found out I had 2 siblings from another mother & another sibling even younger from ANOTHER mother and one sister was the same age as my other sister I grew up with. And it's just akk weird. So where was your sister all this time if you dont mind me asking? And I finally saw my real dad but he could care less about me.

yes I have been watching the show off and on and I think that the only person that is really getting anything out of the whole thing is Rose. It seems to me that she understands that we as people from different back around can't full understand why we feel, think or act the way you do.And not all groups of people are the same within or out of their group.\nJust like you I am half not just black and white; my mother and father like black but they are mixes. On my father side of the family just about everyone is light almost white skin-ed and me and two other of the grand kids are dark but from the two that is dark I am much lighter then them. And on my mothers side of the family we are all the same skin tone just about but I am the white girl in the family. Because I try to keep an open mind about things. I think if I was in the show I wouldn't know have I would feel trying to act white or black just because to me I am both and more and I like being who I am.
