What the hell is up with my name?

OK, so I've gotten so many questions about what the hell is up with my name. Lemme explain.

Every once in a while, I reference my parents, and instead of saying "both of my parents" I say "all of my parents". And people either give me a funny look or make a funny look emoticon on Facebook. I don't understand why this is such a strange concept in today's society, when the divorce rate is so high. I have four parents.

I don't like this whole step-whatever thing. I haven't really ever embraced it. It's probably because my stepfamilies treated me like their own. I was never treated like a stepchild. Or a stepsister. I have nine siblings, and I just call them all my brothers and sisters. Some are step. Some are half. One is my full biological brother. But to me, they're all my brothers and sisters. Same as with my parents and extended family.

So I have loyalties to both my birth name and my stepfather's last name. I've used both names in the past, for various reasons, and I've incorporated both of them into my legal name, which I keep private because I've never wanted to hurt anyone's feelings. I love both of my families. That's why I've used both names.

The reason I put them both on Facebook recently is because some of my old friends who know me by both names said they couldn't find me because they didn't know my married name. They stumbled across me seeing my picture on other people's profiles. So I added them in to make it easier for people to find me. Simple explanation. There's your answer, people.
