I'm haing trouble dealing with the fact that i was adopted. I know it sounds crazy , like i can't even begin to explain.
My adopted mother held things back from me until this year. To tell you the truth she even lied to me once about it. I asked he once before if she knew my birth mothers name and she had told me no. I found out in Feb. that it was lie not only did she know her name she also knew that i had a sister and a brother who died at birth. I don't even know his name. And it bothering me so much like i can't even begin to explain it really but its always there. Just kind of there in mind. I can't really shake it and i don't know why. I always think about it. __________________ "I live to dream and dream to live." |

I can understand why you'd feel that way. Your biological parents are part of who you are, and to learn that you have these people that you are related to, in a way, but that you didn't know anything about ... wow.
Aren't there services designed specifically for people who have been adopted? To help you deal with the issues, and to help you find your birth parents, if you wish to do so? Anyway, feel free to talk about how you're feeeling. It must have felt so strange to have discovered that you were adopted, and you are probably feeling hurt that you weren't told the truth in the first place. Perhaps they witheld the information to protect you? If I were in your position, it'd be on my mind a lot, too. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
