I told my sister I was a prostitute.

I don’t really know my baby sister. I made the final move out of my parents’ house when she was just 11-years-old.

At the time, her favorite color was blue, because Mom’s favorite color was blue. She was in elementary school, and her biggest problems were me and what to wear to dance class. And for some reason that silly little girl looked up to me, even when the “last straw” between Mom and me was how Mom reacted (or didn’t) to Sis slapping me.

Now, she’s 26 and her favorite color is pink. She’s had a kid and she’s divorced. She’s lived in places I’ve never even visited. She was a military wife. Recently, she moved in with her high school crush, and they plan to get married, though she insists they’re not actually engaged. And while “Mommy” is very much a part of who she is, there’s a ton more to the whole.

We’ve been talking more lately, and she just started playing WoW (I’ve yet to really be able to play with them, but hopefully, I will soon!), but the truth is, when I moved out, I wrote her off with my mother. And when I’d call my parents, and they didn’t mention that she wanted to talk to me, I assumed I was right to do so. She doesn’t know me, either, and aside from the memories of a child, all she’s got is whatever my parents have told her. I haven’t asked her what they’ve said.  Read more…
