I am a 37 year old lesbian and adoptee. I'm realizing how powerful and alienating those 2 forces have been in my life. I'm so sick of feeling seperate form people/things. The only person at THIS point in my life that is alienating me...is ME!Make me stop..hehe :grr:

Hi this is my first time on this site....I figured it was time for me to look for others that can really relate to me. Your words ring true to me. I am 39 and have just recently realized that it is me that is making relationships difficult to stay in...I can relate to your feelings of alienating others, as I feel that I am Queen of that game. Would like very much to exchange thoughts with you.
Hey Baddanimals.I was in a lesbian relationship when I was in my 20s (I'm now in my 40s) - coincidentally enough, it was with another Asian adoptee. While I'm no longer in a lesbian relationship, I can certainly understand your feelings of alienation. I think the societal taboos regarding both adoption and homosexuality further compound the difficulties in one feeling like they belong anywhere. I don't mean to blame everything on society, I'm definitely of the belief that it's up to me to decide how to navigate things in my life. I recognize how much easier it would be if we lived in a society that had more awareness of the complexities of adoption and gay/lesbian/transgender issues. Good for you for recognizing the very powerful emotional dynamics in your life. It can be very overwhelming at times to understand and digest it all. My thoughts are with you as you grapple with everything.
