the only problem with bringing those things up in therapy is that when I do she tells me that I have to stop thinking those things, but yet doesn't give me tools to help me stop. I can't just say to myself stop.

Sweetie,

as an adoptee I would never have wanted my mother to be stuck in her grief as to not better herself. I would be proud of a bmom that did. I would feel guilty to think that she was so hurt because of me(my birth) she was unable to help herself.

I totally understand that my placement was in my best interst.
