Frustrates me that I can't shut my brain off. I got to thinking about 'the Family'. Did you know that 'the family' is all of our family. They really can't deny that that's how they got here to Canada. I know I appreciate what 'the Family' did for me. They came to Canada! If they hadn't come here I wonder about my immediate family. I wonder if things would've worked out the way they have for them. I wonder if they ever think about that. I wonder if they think I'm not supposed to be 'grateful' for the sacrifices of 'my' ancestors. Seriously, it's hard to be grateful for the way my immediate family feels that they need to treat me. It was never my choice to be born. It was never my choice to have the shame attached to my birth. It was never my choice to always be scared to say anything for fear of upsetting someone. This is why I blog. It's my out. If you are reading my words it is your own doing...I never forced them on you...'you' have a choice to stay or go. My hope is that at least one person will have empathy for the adopted instead of the anger that most have for us 'ungrateful' adoptees. Comments are closed.
