My mom had married another man and now they've got 2 kids and they treat me as their elder sister but they were all abroad we just communicate and i wanna know how does it feel to have a family that's not composed of step father and sisters...

I am sad to know about what you have gone through. You may not have a complete family, you can still have a change to have a complete family by starting your own in the future. Having a complete family feels so great specially during special occasions. When you see your mom and dad's happy faces as well as your siblings, you can say that it is the happiest moment of your life. Family is the most important thing is the world for me. My mom and dad are my precious jewels and they are the best parents in the world. For me i can not trade my family with anything else in this world.

You can have a happy family in the future. God always have a reason for everything. He may not have given you a complete family, that is because He wants you to build a happy family on your own and be a good parent to your future kids since you have experienced of being away from your mom and the sadness of not having a family next to you. Life may not always be perfect but there are some things that worth to be glad about. That is life itself. Have a happy evening..(its 11:25pm here in Phil.)Thanks for the comment anyway and for the mark.

It's a hard question since I don't know how it is not to have a complete family. I do believe that many with what you call a complete family have it way worse than some with step parents. I do see my husband that has grown up with his mother and for some years with a step father that his life has been very different from mine - he still has great contact with his father and his new family and step brother but I believe that it's all his step mothers favour since she has taken him and his brother as her children - his mother has not made it easier and is still separating the "families" with her and her sons in one family and her and her daughter (with a different father) in one family.

it's the most beautiful, wonderful thing that could happen! there are so many families out there that are not complete in a way, some are separated, some have passed away already and some have another family. it's a sad fact in life. my fiancee's family are separated when she was 12 years old, at an early age, she had face the fact of having to deal with it. her father soon got married and now is based in New York while her mom is residing in London, her mom didn't married after her dad. and my fiancee lives alone here in the Philippines. just imagine how hard it is for her to be missing members of her family. just like what she said to me for her "LIFE IS F****** UNFAIR for her". i am blessed having both my father and my mother in one single house...i pity her so much after knowing that, and she's so jealous of me having this kind of family, she envied me in that matter.

well..it's a typical family what we call that..my parents separated for 10 years but fortunately after that time they get back with each other.i can compare now the feelings of a broken family and a complete one..it makes u feel complete within urself from the thought that u had already a complete family.Any gatherings,occasions or events you could really feel the scenario..whatever may ur ups and downs u have a family to turn to..feels great and better!
