primal wound
yes, i've been warned it can be a bit too heavy and was a bit of a controversy on this site -- having said that, i will save it for a later date when i am coping better. i just want to read everything available, because when i was going through adoption, nothing was available except the councelor from the agency's advice...which at 17 i took to be gospel. so i'm trying to catch up. for years and years i just kind of avoided the subject, i never would have read these 2 books before reunion as i just didn't go there -
i've read so many posts on other forums of this site about birthmother grief and how it needs to be hidden for the sake of others, and so many nasty things written here about birthmothers in general -- i'm kind of afraid to stray off the birthmother support forums now. i get too upset at negative stereotypes and have too many problems of my own to focus on other people's opinions (which they have a right to have and share) and which i can't change anyway.
so, started on the girls last night, maybe 50 pages, already am SHOCKED that by 1985 things had changed so little...i really hope it is different now.
i'm going to start reading the into and beginning to the artists way, so i'll just wait to see when we're all ready to start discussing and doing exercises. this is going to be good for me, i can feel it.
