ok...1st thing to do is take a deep breath...this is very exciting for you i bet...i think you should give her a call...even though you are half sisters, i think it would be a good experience if you got to know her. But if you dont feel comfterble(sry bout the spelling!)about getting to know her, you dont have to...It's totally up to you!

This can be scary, but face up to it!! Was it really her fault that she left your life or was it your parents? Truthfully here, I think you should give it a shot. Take things slowly, don't rush into meeting your dad again, but call her and see what happens from there!! You guys could be the best of friends one day, ya never know until you give it a chance!! =)

i would call if you talk to her u may get to talk to you dad but i know if i had the oppurtuity i would jump on it and its not her fault she left she has to do what the parents tell her to do well depending on how old she is idk but yeah if you dont like it all u have to do is hang up or dont call back but they could turn out to be really great people

CALL, it will be the best thing u ever do, belive me i have a half brother, from my mom, he's the greatest, he lives in NY and we live in NC, but actually he just flew down friday, and we were up all last nite, and were still up hangin rite now, it's fun to have siblings that age, cuz they're WAAAAAAY cooler when their like 16-25

it's awesome, call ur sis, and ask about the bros, unless the bros aren't hers too!!

u won't regret it

then again this is just MY advice, and knowing my half bro makes we SOOOOOOO happy

u don't hafta take my advice, the final decision is urs!! also ya kno, this is wut i'd do, but idk u well enuff to kno if u could handle forming a relationship wit sum1 u haven't seen since u were 5!

Hope i helped!
hope ya do the rite thing (w/e that mite be)

GL wit ur sis and/or bros!!

hErEtoheLp answered Friday July 16 2004, 11:57 pm:
By all means, CALL HER! Let your mom know what's going on first. Obviously your sister wants to see you! I don't know my father, nor have I seen my half sister in over 12 years, this oppurtunity won't come around again! You will definatly regret it if you don't... you can get to explore a whole new family that you've never met... she's your blood, definatly call her, don't let something this awesome and special pass you by!

I think you should call her. She must want to get to know you if she gave you her number. I say call her.

i would give it a shot. b.c through her u can figure out wut ur dad is like. and just b/c shes with your dad doesnt mean that she agreed with wut happend. but do wut u want. i mean its not like u would lose anything?

happyweirdos answered Friday July 16 2004, 11:43 pm:
i would call her up and set up a time to meet. i mean even if u dont really want to get to no her than maybe u should at least just get to see ur dad. and i mean if u dont like them or dont want to get to no them better than u dont have to call them again and maybe u just dont have to assosiate with them that much. i would at least met with them once.

storageanddisposal answered Friday July 16 2004, 11:43 pm:
Well, it could be kind of fun. The way she introduced herself, she seemed nice enough to get to know. You two can talk about each other, she could tell you stories of when you were younger. If you're mad about her leaving your life, then that's understandable. But you have to take into account what her view was at the time. I don't know the whole situation, so I'm assuming she left to live with your father 8 years ago, while you stayed with your mother. If this is true, it may have been awkward if she stayed with you, considering your mother isn't her birth mother. 8 years is a long time, so maybe you can finally forgive her for leaving. You may regret never spending time with her later on. But, of course, you feel that you think something bad could come from getting to know her again, it's totally up to you.

ok...i think u should call her so u can get to know her. yes she did "leave ur life" or w/e but still, she is ur sister and she could become like the greatest person uve ever met. and did u give her ur phone number? bc if i were u i would talk this overr with ur mom or something just to make sure it IS for sure your sister. theres so many freaking pervs out there now u never know. did u recongnize her AT ALL? like when she told you? think about all these options...

-katie

**but that is really exciting if that is ur sis...u should be happy =)**
