Not to dismiss your feelings but why would you feel the way you do?

Oh no....it's the "grateful adoptee" spiel again.Why does she have to justify her feelings to you? She just explained why she felt the way she does.

I'm sick of people telling us how "grateful" we should be. If we admit to any of these feelings other than "happy happy peppy peppy - yay I'm adopted!" -we are immediately accused of "blaming" or being "ungrateful."

A lot of us get to a point where we can't just shut up and be grateful any longer- we have to "look within" which is why we are on these forums.

(Sorry Radio- this is way off topic.)
