Just needing to reach out for a bit of support. I was waiting to hear whether a tentative match was going to be definite only to find out that the emom has changed her mind and decided to parent. I've had a couple of situations that were hopeful but not definite, and I thought I was ready to handle it (again) if it didn't work out. Now I'm sitting at work wanting to cry. I know I have every right to my feelings, but I almost feel guilty because how can I be upset with someone for wanting to love and raise her child? And I'm not upset with her, I'm just upset. I know everything everyone could tell me about my feelings being normal and okay, and the need to grieve, and anything else you could think of. I'm not looking for advice, just support from people who can understand the feelings.
