Added 2021-03-31 00:40:20 +0000 UTCTruthful Tuesday My great grandfather was one of those shitty dudes who had 2 families at the same time. 🙄 I never met him or knew he was alive until I had to go to his funeral. Finding out he was a well-respected, accomplished, wealthy and knighted humanitarian was... a bittersweet rip to the heart. My parents never told me about him because he left our family and deemed us worthless. (If you know what it’s like... you know... *hugs*. You never want to be the 1st family on these situations. My poor great grandma, bless her). Anyways, It’s a weird experience I wanted to share cuz this kind of stuff is pretty common. I’m getting him off my mind and processing more of it before Taco Tuesday and more Shameless tv show. Thanks for being here with me. He- my great grandfather. never wanted to get to know me or tried. His second family is well off, educated and happy. They had a lot of resources that my great grandfather didn’t think we deserved. I’m not spiteful or anything. The offspring are great people and have never hurt us or anything. Can I consider them family? I wish I was a part of their family. I am happy for them. I am. I just can’t help but wonder what my life would be like if my great grandfather cared about women or his own family. Not just the parts he chooses. Idk. It was so easy for him to abandon us. My father and his brothers had to get jobs as correctional officers in miami when they hit 18. So they could take care of us my great grandfather refused to. I wish he cared about me or that asian culture respected and valued women. I’m not really a person in my family’s eyes. It took a lot of talking to other people to learn that.... I didn’t grow up the same way. I know it’s not good to dwell on these things. It just would have been nice to go to law school or learn about him. Where’s doctor who when you need him? LOL
