Rhondda,
I was pressured into having my son .... I was 19 and had a job so could have supported him financially as well as emotionally but it wasn't to be. My parents were adament he was to be adopted, didn't have support from anybody else then endured 23 years of silence as that's the way my parents wanted it.
When I found my son last year, he was actually searching, it opened the flood gates for my emotions which was long overdue. It took months to work through the worst of it and now I almost feel sorrow for my parents. They have contact with my son but it is as if they can't move on with their lives and they have never really talked about him with me since reunion. I still have my bad days but I have moved on so it is much easier to deal with bad days.
Pip
