Thank you, TerryL. I am in the process of getting access to my records; initially I’d told the social worker I didn’t think I wanted contact, but I have changed my mind. We (me and counsellor) should be talking to her together next month. I’m kind of excited because it will be our second meeting, so I think she might have found something. I have other siblings besides my brother, but I feel I’d be ok trying to talk to him again, if he wanted to. I never heard anything from him after the last time I tried to call, and felt angry, hurt and confused for a long time. Again, I see now just how much insight I lacked as a teenager. I’ve been able to let the anger I had at him go, at least.
