In a way I was doomed from the get go.

My siblings are all step-siblings who are older than me by at least 17 years. Even the ones I get along with (mainly my older brother Charlie) I still have very little in common with, and they generally don't socialize with me.

Hell, it wasn't until my mom blatantly pointed out that they were trying to schedule the date we were to spread my dad's ashes during the time period that I'd be deployed that they rescheduled it to where I could be there... and even then, there was bitching because of the inconvenience since it's during the school year. He may have been my step dad... but he adopted me when he married my mom and cared for me like his own. Guess that and the fact that my mom and I took care of him the last few days of his life (my mom the last few YEARS) didn't mean shit to them.

Damn Arch, that sucks hun, sorry you had to deal with that.

As for me, when it comes to physical appearance, yes, I definitely am the black sheep. I am much smaller and darker than anyone else. I actually look photoshopped into pictures with my sisters. Like that massive dog pic next to the woman!

Not that my sisters are large by any means, but they've got me by almost a foot in height, as do my mom and dad and for some reason I look frail next to all of them.

When it comes to everything but appearance, I am not the black sheep, I think that would fall to my uncle that married the friend I grew up with or my oldest lil sis who persists in making poor decisions!

I totally get that.
I have two steps, both younger than me by..umm.. pretty close to 17 years also... and a half brother close to 26 years younger.

Now, if the black sheep contest is between my natural brother and myself (he's 8 years younger), I think he's probably the black sheep.
Not that I have ever really bowed to the family's wishes, been good about visiting, or anything like that... but I've held down a steady job, pay my own bills, and I haven't ever been arrested.

That being the case, my parents and grandparents still seem to do stuff for him when he needs it... so maybe there is no black sheep?

My sister and I are complete opposites (But we both were adopted from seperate parents). And then my mom's side of the family and my family are very different. One cousin is a West Point grad and now a Lt. in the Army Rangers. Another cousin is a MIT grad and does some kind of engineering job. Another is in France on a art scholarship and the rest are college grads with good jobs. All paid via scholarships too.

Then there is me.

I was the black sheep for good reasons for a long time. When I started get myself squared away, I became threat because I was no longer the one they could be beeter than
