Poll Are You The Firstborn, Middle or Lastborn Child?

[melody]

I'm in the middle of two brothers; one is 16 month's older and one is 13 month's younger.

I was the middle child. There were 3 girls..we were all 2 years apart. Then my parents had a baby boy when I was 8. That is the time that our family friend began to molest me. I was the tomboy of the family and sort of the son my dad didn't have. Then, suddenly...he had a real son. I think my abuser used this to his advantage.

Firstborn, only girl.

.....My father wanted all sons, to help on the farm...
Brother, 2 years younger
Brother, 5 years younger than that one
Brother, 2 years after that one.

So, since I was oldest, and a disappointing girl-child, I had to not only try to be the boy my father wanted, but the babysitter of my brothers, from the time I could walk.

Mom's nickname for me is O&O: Oldest & Only

Lastborn of my Mom's 5 and Dad's 9; Only child born to my mother and father. I was raised mainly with Mom's kids, but they were much older than me (16 yrs, 14yrs, 12 yrs, 10 yrs older) so I was more like an only child.

Existing within that house and while trying to be safe and allowed to just be me and live to see another day, I was the youngest present.

Whether or not I have bio sisters or brothers younger then me, after the departure and divorce, it's possible.

I'm about to choose the last one born though I don't really know.

Okay well I am in the middle. 7 kids in our family. Our chaotic family. I am eldest female, who was given enormous responsibilities. I was also the main subject of my parents abuse. I am puzzled as to why they picked me..

Oldest for me. I was adopted when my birthparents died before I was two years old...my adoptive parents had two other children after me - one brother 11 years younger, one sister 6 years younger.

I am a middle child. My sister is three years younger and my brother is 6 years older.

I am the middle child. One older sister by 4 years and one younger brother by 2 years. My mother chose my sister to take most of her rage out on. My father chose my brother to take most of his hate out on. It didn't matter though because I love my sister and brother dearly and if they were hurt or sad I felt everything they did!

 

[shadowchaser]

All three. My mother didn't mother so if you look at the people who did mother me. With Aunt Peg I was the baby of the house. With Aunt Deb I was the oldest. With Aunt Ann I was the middle kid.

Maybe that is part of my problem. Never had a clear role growing up on top of everything that happened. Huh I'll have to bring that up to my ARMHS worker.

I'm the middle child. Big Sis, 3 years older. Lil sis, 2 years younger. One dead step-bro, my age. Allegedly 4 miscarriages and one abortion between older sis and younger sis.

None of us were wanted by my Dad, who kept telling me that our existance ruined HIS life, that I only came about because he wanted a son, that if I had been a boy, they'd NEVER have had another.

But I know my Mom wanted & loved me.
