One thing that worked for me was reading "The Primal Wound" by Verrier and then "The Girls who Went Away" by Fessler. Reading those two books gave me a sense of being okay with myself as to who I am.
I am still working on putting my reunion into perspective but I have found something that is working for me and that is creating my birth mothers family tree. I wish you had enough info to go on to consider doing your tree. What it has done for me is to realize just what my ancestors went through and how they continued on. It made me realize that I am from a very strong group of people who were brave enough to immigrate to a new country that was just starting to evolve and that I have the same strength. I hope to eventually be able to do my birth fathers side so that I can find some peace and strength there too.
Finally, I find simply being here gives me peace that I am not alone and that I choose whether to be positive or negative - not that it always works, but it is better than not trying at all.
I wish you well on your journey to find peace.
Kind regards,
Dickons
