I'm so sorry at the difficulty deriving from childhood. I can only imagine... What an amazing person you were and are.

Thank for the insights based on personal experience.

The things that are different here with the little man is that his mama and daddy are involved in his life on a regular basis and he is corrected...he simply chooses to have his own take on it sometimes. It's wild to watch.

The very same people are in his life that were when he was born, just in reversed roles (since before his memory).

He knows that mama had him and is hi mama, same with daddy, but has selected me and hubby as mom and dad...our roles in his life and something he needs to fit in within his world and needs.

I think his questions about his being born to mama and not me are more about God and understanding that than understanding what is actually his reality. He was feeling a bit threatened at the time and I think a bit angry at his understanding of what God is.

So, he has all the puzzle pieces completely available to him, talked about, experienced. He's just trying to understand some things, I think. For instance, I don't think he can say that he's angry sometimes that there is even a mama and daddy, making his experience here feel less than what it is, or threatened at times.

I guess I should say that he knows the scoop...well...but chooses sometimes (as many children do in any situation) to have some fantasy, or even anger at what they don't like or "get".

When his fantasy skills have lessened, I hope he's confident in the knowledge that even though he's not my birth son, I couldn't love him more.
