Part 6 (Alternate Version): Meeting My Birth Parents first Time, Texting bio SISTERS & RE-abandoned
Вставка

- This is an alternative version of Part 6 of my adoption reunion story, one I thought I had lost but recently recovered. In this recording, I recount the powerful emotions and pivotal moments of meeting my birth mother, Connie, and my birth father, Johnny, for the first time. I reflect on our lunches together, the connection I began building with my two sisters on my father’s side, and the joy of forming those bonds. But just as I started to embrace these relationships, I faced the pain of being abandoned by my birth parents yet again. This version captures the raw and unfiltered emotions of that experience.

@Grandma Shell thanks for sharing your journey through this difficult and complicated process.
I hope you're doing well and continue to do so. Along with your children and grandchildren.
Thank you for your kind words and support. It means a lot. 💖
I think they didnt see how emotional & overwhelming it would be for you. Probably they saw a 'fairytale' version where a seamless reintroduction would just happen, like them resuming their own relationship.
I stopped trying to figure them out a long time ago. There are happy memories that I spent with them.... But there's a lot more real bad stuff coming too. Buckle up. Lol
@GrandmaShellLive Oh dear. I get a bad vibe from your bio Dad. He seems manipulative.
Wow this lady sounds very self absorbed! and maybe a bit emotionally immature. That would be very difficult; I don't think you sound dramatic or "bitter." You sound very reasonable and clear headed about the emotional impact this adoption and meeting these people has had and continues to have on your life. It all sounds exactly normal and rational to me given the situation you were given to deal with!
Thank you so much, Lindsay! ❤️
It's very confusing because I think she's a very caring person .... Or was.... I've seen it. I really just think that the entire adoption thing causes traumas to everybody and it's hard to navigate around them. I don't know that Connie is a bad person. She just has some kind of wall built up around herself when it comes to me. I was the source of her trauma at one time. I certainly didn't have any control over it but nonetheless. 🤷🏽♀️
Now it doesn't excuse their behavior... But it helps me to understand it. Thank you again for your comment and validation. I really did think it was me for a long time. ❤️
Keep in mind. She never initiated the search. But she really loved him so she went along with it. 😬
I don’t really see how your birth mom did anything wrong. My words on the page look stark and even unkind and I don’t mean them to be. I also don’t think you did anything wrong. I think that you had high expectations, and it seems like she’s spent the years since your birth trying to not look at her grief, no examination of her feelings, therefore, little understanding of yours. Some people just white knuckle it through the difficult times in their lives. I’m guessing you’re more like me, I want to wrangle every dysfunctional moment of my childhood into the light and learn from it and heal the wounds. Then I can let it go. I admire that you are able to show your vulnerabilities through these videos:-)
Interesting take 🤔. Thanks for watching
