I hate wishy washy....but that is how I feel when I think about my bdad and his family.
They were all great about meeting me(bmom didn't want to meet me)but her family did.
I love them all and appreciate it but here is where the wishy washy comes in
I love my aparents but I get so mad sometimes thinking about how my life SHOULD have been had my bdad known about me and kept me.
I see how he is with his daughter(my half sister) and I know my life would have been better.....of course now I feel guilty for thinking THIS.
i keep these feelings to myself because no one would actually get them. I know that my life wasn't bad but I know that I would have been spoiled and fawned over and encouraged to reach my full potential if bdad would have raised me....instead being raised by aparents I was one of 4, never encouraged to do well, never spoiled or fawned over:)
This sounds shallow I know but when I think about my bdad and his family all I can see is what I missed or had stolen from me by bmom who never considered offering him the chance to raise me out of spite.
I also don't understand people who want to adopt and then don't give that child everything that they would give their natural children.
I also get distinct feelings that my amom is sometimes jealous of me. anyone else get this?
Oh, man, do I ever know how you feel and where you are coming from! Our stories are very similar.
As for dealing with all those feelings, all I can say is just take one day at a time. I know that sounds kind of lame, but I'm still working on that myself.
Just know you are not alone in the way you feel.
