Thank you for posting this mouse. T and I have just discovered something similar in my infancy although I was not adopted. I am not to the point of asking who the baby was yet. My mom was very rejecting in some ways, ignorant in others and just to complicate things really did want to be a good mom she just didn’t have it in her. My mom was alcoholic and did drugs. She didn’t even know she was pregnant until her third trimester. I was a quiet baby as long as I was left to my crib and cried violently if someone touched or held me.
This is where T and I will be exploring when he gets back from his training.
Would love to chat with you more if you are open to it. I am finding this all so confusing with no one to talk with.
