My Dad and Mum are very proud of me because I am the Captain of the Rugby Team and also because my grades are pretty decent.
However nothing ever seems to be good enough when it comes to my adopted brother. They always treat me second best when he is around and my Dad and him seem to have way much more in common then I do. I mean how stupid, he is the adopted one and it's me that doesn't fit in my own family!
I don't relate to my brother at all especially as him and my girlfriend had a moment a few months ago. I just wish he'd go back home to his own family and leave mine well alone.
I'm finding it hard to keep up my grades and hate being the Captain of the Team. Not to mention my girlfriend who is just way to high maintence for me to deal with.
My whole life is a fake.
First off, I hope you are proud of yourself, and for more reasons than being Capt. of the rugby team, or good grades. Those are fantastic things, but I am sure there is a lot more to you.
I'm sorry about how you feel in your family. Obviously, you're posting on a board full of adopted people, so many of us won't have the experience of growing up with biological siblings, but I would be willing to bet, people that share DNA have similar thoughts. While it's perfectly okay to have those thoughts and fantasies, try to keep in mind that your brother is with his family. Nothing at this point will change that. You don't have to like him, or wish to be his best friend, but for your mental health, you should understand that.
It's a shame about your brother and your girl. No excuse for that.
