Takahirokumiko - I hope it all goes well.
Treth - It was because they didn't like my mother since day one, all because she's 100% Puerto Rican and hates the fact that my dad married her, they also had their daughters calling me Karen and Stephenie because they didn't like my real name until my mom told me to call them..."Auntie Shithead and Auntie Fucker." They both stopped but most of my dad's side seems to just not get along with my mom just because of her race. My mom's a badass though and refused to let it get to her, she made sure I was well aware of all of these things that happened over the years. My aunt L, who had previously when I was tiny called "Auntie Shithead" for not calling me by my real name actually tried to claim there was a rule of voting on names...Then gave me grief when I told her no one would have a choice over what my kid's name would be except for me. If I wanna name my kid a weird name I can. My mom's side of the family is the total opposite, we're all close, tell each other everything, and usually things go pretty good...Except for my cousin in law's weirdness...My grandma is a bitch, as sad as that is to say, she had the nerve to say while she was holding me as a baby: "No one in our family has blue eyes, she must be someone's bastard chil." in front of my father...Needless to say my mom never took her seriously for all her bitching.
