I always knew my Mom didn’t really want me. You see, when I was born, Mom already had two daughters. My older sisters Liane and Kelly. The last thing she needed was another daughter. I knew she had really wanted a baby boy. It was no surprise when I found out she was trying to replace me.

I think I was about 4 years old when I first realised I was a disappointment to my parents. Oh, they never made me feel that way. Mom was always telling me how much she loved me. But I knew she would have loved a son more. My older sister Liane and I were having an argument when she said to me,

“Why couldn’t you have been a baby brother?”
