I am a adoptee who was abuse when I was a child, from the age of 5 to age 15. When I found out that what was going on wasn't right I became very angry. I have been in 2 marriages and don't trust me very much. I've felt guilty that I did something to encourage what happened to me. I still can't look at a picture of my adopted dad without my skin crawling. I am now 53 yrs. old and still can't forgive him or forget. This is something I have lived with all these years. I tried to tell my mom but she wouldn't believe me so I wasn't as close to her anymore after that.
