I cannot imagine having to endure what you have. No child should ever have to endure that abuse, so please don't feel bad about holding back with your birthmother. You have a loving family, and you really seem like you have it all together for such a young person. As an adoptee, I know it's great to finally find out where you came from, and see pictures of your extended family, but you seem as if you have come to terms with your past and your birthmother has not. Have you kept in contact with your siblings over the years? You are young and have a full life ahead of you, don't let this one person keep you down.
