One big happy family

Anonymous - 04/08/2009 12:02 - Singapore

Today, my grandfather was counting all the grandchildren he had and saying how fortunate he was to have all of us. When I pointed out that he'd forgotten to count me, he turned and said, "You're adopted, you don't count as a real grandchild." FML

I'm adopted too, I would have felt like shit if someone in my family said that to me. :( Sorry, you're grandfather is an ass.

To #45 Is being adopted something the OP can control? No it is not... there could have been a number of reasons why the OP's parents couldn't keep they may have done it for the best a possiblity maybe the family couldn't financially support the OP thus having to give her up for the best! So shut the hell up!

Also possible the OP's birth parents DIED...so it isn't always a case that they 'didn't want them'.

Ouch!! That's f*king rude! Don't worry, grandpa is a sad old man and he won't be here for long.

That sucks. My dad was adopted, and his foster-mother tried to tell myself and my little brother that our half sister wasn't related to us! Well, I love my little sister, and I haven't spoken to my dad's foster parents since. Kinda hard since they're both dead. FYL

#45, that's horrible. OP, I'm so sorry. :( You are, in almost all of society's eyes, his real grandchild, even if you might want to start denying that relation seeing as how insensitive of a comment that was.

Way to go ruin someones self esteem **** head! Seriously though OP I'm sorry that your granddad feels that way but any relative of mine that's adopted I would treat and feel of them as blood relations, there's no difference to me.
