In the hours following the phone call with my birth mother I made a meme. I would use the pictures my birth mom sent me of each sibling and paste their faces on the “they don’t know…” party meme with the words “they don’t know I’m the oldest sibling” (below for reference minus their actual faces) and spread it in my close group chats. I did this secretly hoping that these siblings have a sense of humor and I can one day share it with them to hopefully lessen the gravity of the situation
