:confused: :love: im starting to find out from these letters that im not the only one who was adopted that feels lost, abaondoned, not good enough, sad, guilty, insecure, like i dont fit in anywhere. i was adopted into a abusive family who adopted me to fix their problems in their marriage. when that didnt work they finally got pregnaunt with a son and then had no need for me any more. i was constantly compared to everyone who was from the family and reminded that i was adopted. my a-parents were really messed up and lied to me about alot of things to cover up the fact that they bought me becouse they were deeed unfit to adopt a child legally. i lost 14 years of memories when i was growing up and 1 year ago i finally found my real family-8 brothers and sisters, but because i cant except myself or feel good about myself i cant seem to fit into this family either. im very lost rite now

I'm so sorry that your life was so difficult. . . . Your reunion is still new, and it takes a while to develop strong relationships.
It might be a good idea to seek counseling from a professional who is familiar with adoptees' issues. Your biological family can give answers about your identity, but they alone cannot heal you.
Please don't allow yourself to feel less than others for one second longer in your life. If you can find a professional, an adoptee support group in your area, or both, I would highly recommend utilizing them.
Sadly, we've lost out on so much. We can never get the years back that we lost. But, hopefully, we can forge ahead and develop relationships with our families in the here and now.
