My next door neighbours was my second home. I found it awkward because the man I considered Dad was now my next door neighbor and I wasn't allowed to visit him. It was hard for me. My foster brothers new family was likewise close friends of his and he was only half a block away. Other than school we weren't allowed to see each other. I liked my next door neighbours AS neighbours. I didn't want them as parents I wanted my dad. It was so hard being so close to him but not being able to see him. I don't think my 2nd parents were bad they were just different. I was used to them being my friends. I didn't go out of my way to make things hard or difficult for them I just had a hard time accepting them as mum and dad. Even calling them that was hard. It didn't fit. I brought home a form from school which had to be signed by parents/guardians and I circled guardians. They asked why and I told them they weren't my parents they were my neighbours. I wasn't trying to be mean I was 6.
