Crick,
I’ve given it a lot of thought today…here is my thinking…
He feels incredibly guilty for the decisions he made as my parent…he is worried that if we adopt (not sure about the pregnancy thing) that I will repeat those mistakes…maybe his harshness was to spare me the guilt of doing what he did. I honestly don’t have a freakin clue, right now, that’s the only thing that’s making sense.
The comment about having a baby wasn’t an unexpected one…honestly, you’d be shocked about some of the uneducated opinions out there about birthmothers giving birth and parenting later…When I speak locally, that’s usually one of the biggest topics…coupled with the “second pregnancy and entitlement” phenomena.
Like I said in my first post, I totally didn't expect them to be supportive…I mean, why start now
but I certainly didn't expect the reaction I got.
One word comes to mind in all of this: Hypocrite
