So I just found out my grandma isn’t my grandma, and my actual grandma lives in Somalia! My grandpa isn’t my grandpa he’s my moms uncle… My actual grandpa died when I was three years old! My aunts aren’t my aunts, so I finally understand why they’ve always been mean to me! AND My grandma is very mean to my mom so my mom can’t ask her for stuff like taking care of my baby brother so my brother is being sent to Somalia and he comes back when he’s three years old.
This is a lot for me i’m only 13 and i’m turning 14 this summer it’s overwhelming.
Woah- that’s overwhelming. But isnt that great news that you have roots connected with Somalia?!! And how excited are you to meet your real grandmother? I bet she’s going to be sweet to you :)
Its going to be all fine. Dont stress about it too much, take 5 deep breaths and you’ll be good to go. And if there are too many thoughts, dont forget to put it out here so that you dont have to go through it alone :)
Much love to you <3
I knew I had roots in Somalia but it’s so hard to let go of my brother he’s leaving at the end of the summer

You should not even care about such details, you have a very little world in which your parents and siblings are the only closest people. So even if your real grandma or current grandma turns to be an alien, just consume it and settle down. You have your mom dad and brother…
My brother is leaving in the end of summer
I haven’t seen my dad in three years
Me and my mom aren’t close

I see
Instead of stressing over, the best you can do here is enjoy the time you got with your brother. Gather as many memories as possible.
And since you are not close to your mom, shouldn’t you be working on the relationship between you and your mom? She is the immediate elder to you, why even is there space in your mind to think of your grandparent’s situation?
