(((hugs))) There is no easy way to deal with rejection but, I know for me, who very much wants my bson in my life, the emotions have been overwhelming and I'm a pretty strong personality so IBF may be right - they may not be able to overcome their fears and emotions. IMO it is their loss. I believe that you can never have too many friends or people to love and support you.
Although my reunion is plodding along at a snail's pace, I turned my life upside down when I first heard from my bson and don't regret it for one second. His sister's and bdad (my husband) are having a difficult time because they just can't figure out how to start - what to say, what to do. For me, I put my own wants, needs and feelings to one side and concentrated on making him feel comfortable and let him decide what he wants. Not easy to do but it's all about him.
Again, my heart goes out to you both and I feel it must be so very difficult but remember they don't know "you". I can't believe that they are rejecting "you" but rather may not be able to face themselves and their past. At least that's how I felt initially.
Take care.
