Primal Wound
I haven't read the book, yet...it's on order and I am currently waiting for its delivery. I have read several others and am curious as to what this book has to say.
I can't say that I have felt wounded throughout my life, but I always "knew" that I would search for my bfamily. I am happy to say that I did reunite with my bmom 14 years ago. We have had a good relationship through the years until about a year ago when she just stopped calling me or even returning my calls. I am trying to give her space since I'm not sure that there might be "issues" (there's that word again) about our reunion that she of the rest of her family might be dealing with. She still does email me occasionally. Sorry, getting off of my original thought there.
I have for the last several years though, been depressed and not really figuring out why. It did get very black earlier this year. I later came across an article on the internet that helped me put 2 and 2 together. The article is An Adoptees Perspective: Happy Adoptees. I related so well to that and then started my pursuit for answers about me. I found this site shortly thereafter and have noticed that I feel that I have started to acknowledge the hurt and can maybe start to heal whatever is still hurting after 45 years.
I look forward to reading this book, not to look at the gaping "wound", or to feel that I'm "damaged", but as a place to start learning to recognize myself and heal.
