Hi, Samantha. Thanks for listening....Tabitha says:<br /><br />Hi, Samantha. Thanks for listening. You're definitely right - I empathize a lot with Gia, for those reasons and also because of fighting to survive, even though the circumstances were very different. Gia was in just as much danger as I was, only a different kind, and I understand that when you panic about that, you end up doing things you wouldn't ordinarily do.<br /><br />I miss my grandparents <i>a lot</i>, but not my parents at all really. My grandparents were my primary caretakers for most of my childhood, so I never really had the same bond with my mom or dad that I did with my grandma and grandpa.<br /><br />I haven't seen my father in a long time. He hasn't been in contact with the extended family (he married into it; my mother is the genetic relative) and we don't really know where he's living now. He can't be all that interested in me, because he knows where to go to ask about me if he wanted to know.<br /><br />I'm glad you have a new family, too, and that you're happy!<br /><br />Love,<br />TabsBlakeney Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08159136159222855283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2209525367139857595.post-20724928277130841702012-04-06T22:06:52.919-02:302012-04-06T22:06:52.919-02:30Tabitha,
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing your ...Tabitha,<br />Wow! Thank you so much for sharing your past with us. I feel like I know you better. You must empathize with Gia, knowing how hard it is to become something else and being a victim. Do you miss your parents and grandparents? Did you ever get to see your father? I miss my parents but am happy to have my new mom taking care of me. It is nice to feel a part of something. I am glad you can live a better life with Blakeney and the rest of your family. <br /><br />Hugs,<br />SamanthaNemomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01265327386334292888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2209525367139857595.post-56326519040617766142012-04-05T18:40:24.677-02:302012-04-05T18:40:24.677-02:30Tabitha says:

It took us a little while to recognize each other because I'd been through so much and was so different, but that little bit of continuity helped me settle in.<br /><br />Of course, it's not a total coincidence - the family found me in the area where our shared relatives live, and they were there visiting some of those relatives.<br /><br />Even so, it seems kinda like one of those "meant to be" things, maybe...<br /><br />Love,<br />TabsBlakeney Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08159136159222855283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2209525367139857595.post-63995793167575997442012-04-05T18:10:51.586-02:302012-04-05T18:10:51.586-02:30Hey Tabitha,

I'm glad that you feel you belong with your new family. That's a very important feeling to have.<br /><br />-Mac-Montana Girlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13513734854193630232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2209525367139857595.post-63910568541752883052012-04-05T16:57:50.323-02:302012-04-05T16:57:50.323-02:30Tabitha says:

We had different experiences (and yeah, you're not a vampire) but I think we can both relate to feeling unwanted, nowhere to fit in, and like we had to deal with our problems all by ourselves.<br /><br />I'm glad we both have families to lean on now.<br /><br />Love,<br />TabsBlakeney Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08159136159222855283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2209525367139857595.post-10870332979780365802012-04-05T16:50:18.107-02:302012-04-05T16:50:18.107-02:30Tabitha says:

(Which I'm glad they did!) I think we're both pretty lucky. And yeah, since I finally managed to accept their love - that there was no trick and no ulterior motive - it has felt great.<br /><br />Blogging is kind of fun, too. I can see why the other girls have so much fun with it.<br /><br />Love,<br />TabsBlakeney Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08159136159222855283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2209525367139857595.post-13720625741408430592012-04-05T12:04:33.787-02:302012-04-05T12:04:33.787-02:30Hello Tabitha!!

You are lucky to have such a wonderful family to be a part of, I understand that as I have found the same here. Feels good hu??<br /><br />It is good that you are feeling comfortable enough now with your family to take part and write on the blog too.
