Thanks Tomster...I agree that part of this is probably just the way she is as a person. But there seems to be such an underlying anger towards me. It's almost like she doesn't approve of who I am because I'm not like how she would have raised me. She says things to that effect all the time. The thing is..the son that she did raise, is on drugs, and in and out of jail, because THAT is what he saw...it WAS their lifestyle. ( I know that people make their own choices, but that is the situations he grew up in) And I want to say, "Can't you be happy that I work, go to church, am a nice person, and live a good, clean life?!?! Why do you have to always "pick" at me..." Trust me, I could pick at her, but I don't!!!
Sometimes I really do want to just walk away.. but then I don't want to be labeled one of THOSE adoptees.....I think part of the problem with me, is that I was spoiled here by being around so many "ideal" bmoms....
