Isn't there someone on GR who is good at digging up threads. Why was this deleted?
It is such a helpful thread and has been used regulalry.

Hazel, I too, could like write a book like others. However, it may give you an insight in that aged eleven I had adoption explained to me by my mother. I must have kept asking questions because she showed me my birth certificate.

I was disappointed I had hoped my 'real' Mummy was out there somewhere - not realising of course that that would mean that my Daddy then would not be my real Daddy.

There was only love and laughter in our home when Daddy was home from sea. It was only when I was sixty that I had the guts to stand up to her once and for all and never regretted it.

As others have said, talk it out, write it down and then go on to be happy.

My husbands mother died when he was seven. When he was nine his father remarried. The first time my husband met his new step mother was after her wedding to his father. Her first ever words to him were " let's get one thing straight from the start, I hate kids". This proved to be true.

My husband grew up to be a lovely person just as I am sure you are Hazel. Stay strong and focus on the present and the future. I wish you all the love in the world

What a dreadful thing to say to a small child. His father evidently hadn't researched her feelings very well.

His father was only interested in himself, house keepers came and went ( unable to cope with his unwanted advances) in the two years between his mother dying and his father remarrying. When there was a housekeeper my husband and his sister were at home when there was no housekeeper they were IN a children's home. Perhaps his father thought a new wife would solve all his problems. But dispite everything my husband grew into a kind, thoughtful and loving man

Hazel, what can i say that hasn't already been said .
So i'll send you some

Oh Chris that rings so true, after years (well 44) I finally had the courage one day to say to my mother why did you leave me, she didn't talk to me for a further 2 yrs, says it all.
