While discovering a long-lost twin brother and forming a meaningful bond, OP faces a deafening family situation that threatens their newfound connection. The parents, who had kept the existence of the twin a secret for years, expressediscomfort and resistance to the growing relationship, imposing strict and seemingly unreasonable rules. The demand to forsake the birth name in favor of the one chosen by the adoptive parents becomes a symbol of their desire to control the narrative and maintain a sense of authority. Meanwhile, the interference from the overbearing grandma introduces an additional layer of absurdity, as she imposes antiquated rules on OP’s attire and scrutinizes every interaction with the brother.
Faced with this challenging situation, OP struggles with a desire to maintain peace within the family while fostering a genuine connection with their newfound sibling. Negotiating a delicate balance between family expectations becomes a constant struggle, as OP navigates the complexities of familial relationships, identity, and the intrusive inquiry of a grandmother who seems unable to embrace the evolving conditions within the family.

4. Since COVID OP and her brother have been spending a lot of time and they are bonding really well moreover, her brother has two moms who are great to him and OP.
5. OP’s parents are always upset about this and tell her that she should keep her distance because it’s too early and she is trusting him and his parents too soon if she doesn’t stop she will hurt her feelings

7. OP’s grandmother hates her brother with a burning passion and she always thinks that OP is dressed inappropriately in front of him because girls shouldn’t wear thin clothes moreover, OP said she lives with them and when OP’s brother comes to meet her she plays detective to figure out what they are doing.
8. She even says that when they are in her room she shouldn’t close the door and OP should go to jail for these serious crimes, that’s too absurd of her grandma by the way.

11. OP finds these rules to be very unreasonable and childish now she wants to know how she could keep the peace while seeing her brother
12. Too long didn’t read try this
13. This user suggested OP be in contact with him as much as possible over text, social media, or in person and as soon as she is 18 she would have the power to see him and dress however she wants.
14. There is a lot of creepiness about how jealous they are
15. Or maybe she is just too much bewildered
16. That’s a thing to be hurt which is adults failing to guide you into human relations
17. They need to acknowledge this for god sake that they are siblings, and I guess they are just worried that OP would not consider them as a family and she will forget them.
18. Exactly, I could feel this and the fact that OP’s parents separated twins is cruel.
