T said years ago that I don't allow myself to feel that.
This wkend I did. It was such an awakening moment.
My immediate reaction was to hold and comfort that baby in me.
When I told T about it all. She said "yes, a normal reaction would be to want to hold and comfort that baby, your adoptive mother didn't have that reaction".

Much was said and felt around this, it's so relieving to have finally got there after all thus time.

I feel that all the time. Unfortunately, I tend to respond with anger and rejection. I haven't yet figured out how to be compassionate with myself.

I remember I used to mentally stomp on the crying child I could feel inside. Unthinkably cruel really. Who would do such a thing to a child?
