It is amazing that people who have promised agencies, court, caseworkers and what not can so totally abuse the ones they have been entrusted to love and protect. I was adopted, abused and eventually left as soon as I could at age 17. I have had no face to face contact with amom in 20 years. Two years ago adad was dying and my abrother asked me to come. It was the first time I had seen him in that 20 years. He was barely hanging on and couldn't speak. I still had and have anger for all that I was put through. For my brother's sake I told him I forgave him and he died soon after. For the longest time I did not want to have children and then I discovered I was unable due to the abuse as a child. It seemed like just another cruel reminder. I didn't receive counseling - I probably should have. I had alot of really self destructive behaviours. Each day I work hard and outwardly I seem to have it all. Inside I just take it day by day and strive to be a better person, for myself and now children (through foster/adopt). I am a better parent than mine were but each day I strive to be better than I was the day before. I tell them that each one of us is a work in progress.
