The Beginning
My family was messed up before my parents were even engaged. My mam had been dating a guy called Rhyd for three years before her and my dad were married, and she never stopped going out with him. It was the perfect recipe for disaster. When I've overheard my mam and Rhyd talking, she's said that she never wanted to marry my dad, but that she felt that she had to. The wedding was very rushed. My dad worked as an international liaison something, and he was due to go to China on business the day after the wedding. Mam saw a golden opportunity and said that she was fine with it. Pretty soon she was pregnant with Rhyd's baby. It was going to be tight for when my dad got back from China, but he called mam and said that he was going to be in China a whole year.
When dad finally got back from China, I was born. I think that my first year of life was probably the time that i was most loved. I was born with Waardenburg syndrome. That meant that I was born with different coloured eyes, my hair is very pale blonde and I have severe hearing loss and have to wear a hearing aid. I was also diagnosed with dairy intolerance when I was about 10 months old, and that meant that mam got pretty annoyed at me because it took so much effort to look after me.
For the first year, everything was going OK. Surprisingly, Rhyd was fine with mam having a kid with my and mam would go round to Rhyd's house every day while dad was at work and mam would look after Josh. Dad knew that we went there, but he thought mam was a child minder, so he didn't get suspicious. When I look back at the stories of my early childhood, I'm always surprised at how good mam must have been at acting. Later on though, mam couldn't hide anything from anyone because it was so easy to read her... Anyway, mam and dad had another kid called Amelia, and everything seemed fine. Until I ruined it.
I don't know if it was actually my fault, because mam has something against me, so everything is always my fault. Apparently, just after I learned to talk, dad came home from a long weekend in America with work. He asked me what I had been doing, and that was when I blew mam's cover. I said that I had been playing with Josh while mam and 'daddy' had been 'doing adult stuff'.I'd clearly forgotten that mam had made me swear that i would always tell dad that times at Rhyd's house were extremely boring for both of them. Sorry mam. For the next week all that I could hear in the house was shouting.
We went to court and I played with Amelia for a while, until the lawyer came in and told me that I would probably never see my dad or Amelia again. I've never quite worked out why dad didn't take me too, but i can only assume that he either wasn't allowed by the custody people, or that he couldn't face having a child who had called Rhyd daddy.
Me and mam moved in with Rhyd and Josh. They were married within the week, but I wasn't invited. Rhyd said that he was prepared to think of me as his daughter, and e and Josh already thought of each other as whole siblings. It sounds like it was going to be , mam, Rhyd and Josh would be a normal family.
That is not what happened
