Brothers

Last night we went out to dinner with Master's half brother. He is the only child His mother had but His father has a total of 5 children. Why? Because apparently he is insane. Five kids. Holy shit. He has two sons (Master and His brother) which were the first two out of the five. The remaining three are all girls. But anyway...

We had made the plans to meet up with Master's brother and his wife a while back and finally it was time. We had only met up with them once before. Master hadn't seen His brother in about 14 years before we met them for the first time. There is a lot of history of His mother whispering in His ear about how horrible His father is and all the other kids blah blah blah blah blah. Yes, she's a manipulative bitch on wheels. Well about two years ago Master got back in contact with His father. And through that link up He got in contact with His baby brother. Also, He found out He has two sisters that He didn't even know existed because they were born after He stopped talking to that side of His family. It came as quite a shock to Him.

So back to the dinner thing. They came up by us and we hit Applebees for dinner. They had left their little one with a babysitter this time. Everthing was more relaxed. Not that it was extremely tense the first time, but the whole sizing each other up thing was done and over with. With that done and over with it was like they had never stopped talking to each other. What amazes me with Master getting in contact with His father's side of the family is that everyone is welcoming us with open arms and a smile on their face. There is no bad blood. They all understand that Master's mother fed Him a lot of bullshit and He had a lot of other things going on. It's all very hard to explain via a blog post but trust me.. there was a lot going on.

You would think there would be some caution or some "if looks could kill" type moments. But no. Not from anyone. Like I said there was a sizing each other up moment but it wasn't a fuck you type thing. It was a "lets see how this long lost family member actually is" type moments.

We all had a great time at dinner. There were a lot of jokes thrown around, a lot of laughs and a lot of smiles. It was wonderful. Everything with that side of His family is so... laid back. We don't have to dodge and weave or take small barbs at the other person in a fucked up form of self defense like we do with His mother.

But even Master's father said that I fit in with their side of the family. *grins* So now Master can't get rid of me because that side of the family loves me. *laughs*

We were at dinner for about 3 1/2 hours. It felt like an hour. We agreed to meet up again soon. They are having a barbeque at there place sometime this summer and want us to go. We said we would love to go and to just let us know what they want us to bring. I'm so glad that Master is reconnecting with that side of His family. He may have missed a lot of years with them but now? Now, it's like He never left.
