the truth

it is the truth.... and it is an empowering truth, i think.

how can i beat myself up for relinquishing my parental rights and consenting for people to adopt my baby when that was in her best interest?

it is much easier to beat myself up for giving her away... or abandoning her.... or relinquishing her...

but i didn't do those things....

and some might say, well it's the same thing as giving her away....

but i argue not....

no.... it is not.

susie.. there is probably more than one thread around here.... discussing our precious mothers.... i know mine has astounded me with her comments in this reunion time.... just floored me... like when she said "well, you really knew we would help you."... ???? excuse me? after telling me i would be homeless and no one in the whole family would help me? crazy stuff....
