But you don't have to, because you know through all of life's ups and downs, the good times and the bad, they'll always be there. Won't I?
I'm Georgia Love and this is Everyone Has an Ex-Best Friend. Come with me as we dive into a collection of stories about friendships past through the eyes and the hearts of the very people who lived them. We all know the saying, blood is thicker than water. At the end of the day, family comes first. But what about the saying friends are the family you choose? Just because you share a bloodline with someone doesn't mean they'll always have your back. Well, for Rachel, she didn't need to decide which saying she found to be most true, because she had both in one.
I'm the youngest. Deborah is the eldest. Kelly is the second eldest. We have different dads as well. So they've got the same dad, different dad to me. So between me and Deborah there's thirteen, fourteen year age gap. When I was growing up, my sisters basically raised me like mum. was out and about. And I spent a lot of time growing up with my sisters and my older sister because she was so cool, you know, she let me do whatever I want basically. My mum was never really like emotionally invested in us. So I got that love and care from my sisters and then from Deborah. She gave me the attention and the love that I craved from my mum. All it was was us three bas or yeah, us three for a long time.
It was a different relationship than many would have had with their sisters growing up. Because Deborah especially had done a lot of the growing up part before Rachel even came along, and this made their bond incredibly special and close. But it also meant the inevitable next step of growing up for Deborah came much earlier than her younger sibling.
They moved out when I was six. I still saw them frequently, you know, like and I would go to Deborah's house for like sleepovers and that was my escape. Essentially like when they left home, like I grew up as an only child because they were all adults, got married. started having their own kids and I was at home with mum. When she met her husband, they got married. They moved about six hours away. Deborah's husband left before she did. So he left to start work and set up. And he actually left on my ninth or tenth birthday. And so I was so upset and I was just so heartbroken. Because again, like they were my safe space. But like our relationship kind of got stronger. school holidays, I used to go down there and basically spend my entire holidays down there with her.
I would go down and spend weeks with them. We would go on family holidays together whenever they came up to Perth. Pretty much everything else that was going on in my life, it would have to wait and I would spend all the time with them. I was just that little add-on, you know, we confided in each other. That's who we were. It was like a good ten years that we just we did everything together.
