My mum grew up with out a dad in her life. A couple of years ago she got in touch with her fathers children (there are several of them) and met up with her half sister. My auntie especially became a part of our lives and they got on so well that my auntie decided to move to the village. I initially found it very hard to come to terms with the fact that my mum had been abandoned by her father and that she was so happy to embrace that side of her family. Anyway i love my auntie to bits and it's been lovely to have her in our lives.
My auntie had also been estranged from her daughter and at a similar time her daughter contacted her and they began to rebuild their relationship.
Anyway to cut a long story short, her daughters children came to stay for a week and I got on very well with them. I met my cousin and her husband for the first time yesterday. did find it very emotional and to be honest quite hard. It seems as though my life has changed overnight. I don't really think my DH underdstands it at all. In his mind I'm just buying into the man made phenonemon of family.
