Blood Relation

Is Blood Thicker Than Water?
Most of us will say that blood is thicker than water. People in the same family are related by blood and according to others, and family relations are more important than any other relationship. My parents were separated when I was a little girl because my father had an affair with another woman. My mother married another man when I was in fifth-grade, a man named Jason Gordon. When I met him, it felt like I’ve known him for a long time. He made me feel like I was his own daughter and gave me the greatest gift—the love of a father. A father and a step father are called the same way and has the same responsibilities but the only difference between them is how they show it or how they love and care for their childrens. Ricardo, my real father, is a man that didn’t really care about anyone else but himself. When my parents were separated. He didn’t even gave a single cent of his money for us and didn’t even think about how we’re doing. I grew up with a lot of anger and pain inside me because of him. I see him once or twice a year. Because eventhough he didn’t care about us, my mom didn’t want us to forget that he is still our father. But everytime he is around me; I don’t feel happy and I don’t feel the presence of a father, but instead I feel pain, anger and hate. There was a time that I almost got raped and sued two men. I called him to inform about what happened to me. But instead of listening, he told me that it happened because I wasn’t careful enough and to be careful next time so that it won’t happen again. It was the most painful thing that he did to me. I felt that I’m not an important person and unloved. I always ask myself the questions, “Is he my real father?” and “how can a father do those things to his own daughter?”. If I could just have one wish, I would wish for a different father. ' Unlike my real father, Jason Gordon, my step father was a very loving and caring man. He did everything that he could to gain my trust, respect and love. He paid for everything that my family needs and I attended a catholic high school because of him. He is also the reason why I’m in the United States right now. He helped us start a new life. Unlike my real father he loved me and treated me as his own daughter. The time that I almost got raped and sued the two guys. He wasn’t there but he did everything that he could to make those guys pay for whatever they did. He called the attorney and paid for everything. He talked to me to make me feel better. He says that everything will be fine. And It felt that he’s always by my side eventhough he’s not. Another difference is the way they set out their rules, my step father gives out necessary rules, while my real father doesn’t really care. My father doesn’t even look for me when im outside till midnight. But my step father sets out curfews and forms for the guy that wants to court me. It’s a form that has to be signed by the guy’s parents and it also has some rules written on it. He wants to meet and interview the guy before we started dating. I feel that I’m always secured whenever my step dad is around me. Unlike my real dad who doesn’t care about how im doing, if im fine or what not. Blood is not always thicker than water. It doesn’t matter if you’re blood related or not. It doesn’t matter if he’s my real father or not. That only thing that matters for me is how they loved me and cared for me, and eventhough jason is not my real father, he showed me that he is going to be by my side no matter what, and showed me that he is really different from real father.
