heartened,
I am so sorry about your horrible experience. That makes me so mad I want to scream. Unfortunately it seems to be quite common.
My husband is also adopted. He was born in 1965. He grew up in a very abusive household with his adoptive parents. I call them that because they don't deserve to be called parents. We haven't spoken to them in over 10 years.
As an adoptive parent, I am appalled. But it also happens in non adoptive situations as well. I guess dysfunction is rampant everywhere.
I was fortunate to grow up in a very stable, nurturing envioronment. My parents were happilly married for over 30 years. They were very loving and wonderful.
I can only parent the way I was brought up. So my children will be brought up adored, loved and wanted.
