Give her "The Primal Wound" or anything by B. J. Lifton if she really wants to try to understand you. I think just sending the links to the books would help to show the actual documentation of adoption issues. I've had some chapters in "The Adoptee Survival Guide" and "Adoption Therapy" all written by adoptees and adoption therapists if that would help. Let me know if there is anything I can do I know adoptee support groups can sometimes help too. We are the only ones that really get it. I know it took my long time friends a great deal of time but they have finally seen the devastation and havoc adoption has wreaked upon my life and others.

My life served one purpose, to please my adoptive mother and she reminds me that I failed miserably.

I would never have given him away at 16 knowing what I know now. He needed me, his mother to be with him. I was the best person to parent him. I've never stopped loving him.He's going to be 40 soon, and has just recently vented all his anger to his adoptive mom about how he pretended to be happy, and never felt loved.<br />She told me his memories were all wrong! They are his memories! Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04762762811875027906noreply@blogger.com
