Ok, the thing I thought about today (though this is getting off topic) the way my mother *blames me* for having to spend $5,000 retainer on getting a lawyer...
Um, why didn't she not do ( ) or ( ) regarding my niece's care?
Then blames me....it's all my fault..
*This post will not make sense unless you read other posts. Aren't lawyers for guilty people anyways?
hashtag dealing with crazy people.
This is why we are estranged...

Hmm, I agree. And with time, it seems to get farther and farther away from "normal"

Reason: typo
(Did you know that's probably why you like parentheses so much? They trained you to not even value your own thoughts, so now you relegate half of them to 'afterthought' status.)
Hmm, thank you,Wmns4Lfe, I will think about this..
My own children know that information, they wouldn't have to ask. I don't think the OP has the right to any information on her step siblings that isn't already public information, in which case, she can find it if she looks hard enough. If she had a relationship with them, it wouldn't be an issue would it? And her own sister doesn't want to share her info either. There's a back story here, but I doubt very much her parents are doing it out of competition.
Yeah, there's a reason no one wants the OP to have any of their information and they are not close with her.

No, my mother is embarrassed of her past actions...
Ugh, I came up with a plan - I should have thought of in the first place!! Send text message or facebook message to step-brother, "What is you address? I am sending out Christmas cards." Then send them a card. It would've worked and *no lying*.
Plus, 5 messages from my mother: she doesn't want me to work for a government job, or anything that would tye me to this state so I can move back to her house...
You clearly have a couple of issues here at play...
But I could see why family members would be weirded out at being asked to give their personal information for a job when they didn't know what the job was or why the info was needed.
I would fill the form out as best you can and write Unknown when you need to, with a note stating that you are estranged from these family members for personal reasons. As long as they aren't convicted felons, you'll probably be okay.
