Lola answered Saturday July 15 2006, 3:36 pm: hey,
First of all, this all sounds really tough, and i am sure that your not too happy with your mom's engagement and how she accepted to be with that guy without asking you first.
Second of all, i would like to clarify a point for you, your family( sister, half brother and mother ) ,they all love you, because they are your family and they were raised up with you, and care about you.
Third of all, i am sure that no one hates you and that its not about not wanting you to be around, but its just that they are probably to preoccupied,and excited about their engagement and being with each other. And most probably,your half brother and sister both like this new guy,and thats why they are mad at you because you don't like him.
Fourth of all, i understand that you don;t really like that new guy, but i suggest that you should maybe try and give this guy a chance, and get closer and try to know him better. And you may like him and find him interesting and actually fun, because sometimes, we judge people from how we see them from the outside and according to first impressions, but then when we get closer, and know them from their inside and their true personality, we find out that we were wrong about them.
So try to do what i said, because if you really did like him later on, your mother would feel much happier and would start involving you in stuff and paying more attention to you, because all your mother needed, is someone to congratulate her and feel happy for her and be with her when she takes a big step like accepting to be with him.
So try to consider what i said, and try to work on involving yourself in stuff some more, and give the guy a chance, because you may be wrong about him, and have some self confidence in yourself, and never have that feeling that someone hates you, especially if its a family member because hate is a really big word, they could be upset or mad, but they don't hate you.
So goodluck, and if there are any further problems, troubles, concerns, or worries, then please be free to contact me. [ Lola's advice column | Ask Lola A Question ]
