Did you call your Dad your “social dad” before you found out you were donor conceived? As the “non carrying” parent, I just feel so bad because I know how hard your parents wanted you and tried to get you here! I just hope your perception of your parents never change. As a person with many half siblings myself, Don’t be so caught up on the terms “half brother/sister” because I’ve found that, in my personal life, that the relationship is what matters! Out of my 6 “half siblings” I talk with ONE almost daily. And that’s simply because we’ve spent more time together & just have more in common in general! Sure, I’ve got lots of love for the other 5, but just because we’re related by blood that doesn’t mean we are all BFFs by any means😂I think that sometimes the societal expectations create this ideal of perfection or something if you have siblings. I believe this at once also, went from being an only child to having 3 siblings suddenly, nothing changed in my actual household though to be honest🤷🏽
