EZ,

I think your perspective and your situation explains itself, and you are being exactly appropriate and loving by not placing an undue burden on your elderly ill parents.

We are adults here and no one has the right to tell us who we can and can not have a personal relationship with. Others can not like who I associate with, and that's their perogative, but who I relate with and to, that is my private business as a grown woman, I have no obligation to tell or not tell my parents who I choose to associate with in adult life. What makes me mad as a 43 yr old grandmother of 2, with aparents in thier late 80's is their lack of thinking I am capable of having contact with my birth parents, so they keep the information to themselves as if I am not "respectful or decent, or wise enough" to determine if I want to have such a relationship of my own volition, with my birth parents. That is maddening to me. JMHO.

Respecfully.
