Brenda, I don't know that anything I can say will be of comfort to you, but I want you to know how sorry I am for what you're going through with your birthmom. It breaks my heart.
I know you're trying to look on the positive side of the situation, which is really all you can do. And I know that you are trying to convince yourself that it is HER loss, which it is. But the reality is that it is your loss too. And it hurts. (I am going through a painful situation of rejection and betrayal in my life right now too and it hurts like hell.) The thing is, Brenda, sometimes there is no way "around" the pain...you just have to grit your teeth and plunge right through it. Believe me, I know. Everyone says the sun will come out again and I'm sure that's true. But there are inevitably some dark days to be endured before that happens.
If the warm wishes of your fellow adoptees on this forum help ease your pain, I want to add mine. Please stay in touch and let us know how you are. I'll be thinking about you! Love, Sonata
