Hi Debbie,
Just read this. YES, Yes, Yes, I would welcome it! Since I began questioning my life the abuse, sexual, mental, physical, I went through, at the hands of Adults, all the dynamics, of brain washing, cruelty, alcohol isolation and secrecy. Thank God my major has been Psychology, and Family dynamics, Child Advocate. The fact that after the older (parents) died, 1, when I was eighteen, the other, dad, when I was in my twenties, whom never lived with us, but never treated or talked to me like that, the fact I never had birthday parties and the fact I did not know my birth month until I was in 2nd grade, I was Hidden, made to ride a tricycle in the Home until rubber melted on the furnance or the fact several of the aunts, allowed their grand children, to belittle, chase me would smear dog crapp on me, and laugh about it, be locked outside in the heat to wear it all day. A sister who was 22 years older, whose oldest son, (6yrs younger) and a brother whose daughter could steal, or tattle on me( she 3 yrs younger) were groomed to disrespect me or the boys spit on me, if I retaliated then, I was dragged and Beat in front of them, with a broom, or object, or told I should have killed you before you were born, and put you in the garbage, or No one will ever Love you, or when the Mother died and the house that was falling in we were living I barely 18, and the 20yr old brother had the Attorney, his friend try to probate after it was written I should get the home to have a place to live, until the Father had to go face to face with the Attorney and told him, " it had better stop her mother and I had already fixed it so I would have a home" and since and money or property the brother got after the dad died, I got a picture, and the fact this brother never allowed me to come to his house or be in the home before he would usher me out, did not attend my daughters graduation, being he was the only male left only family left, but came to our home when I was not home, told her something(she wont say, other than I'm not gonna be Hatred by everybody like you are" and gave her a card. There has been trouble! At my age now, lies told me, about my birth has not been founded nor dates and a 83 year old has called cousins cursing demanding he tell his and his brothers kids to make their ancestry tree private then calling me insane, crazy and full of..........., even though father mother sister brother aunts and uncles even my ex husband is dead, and will not speak truth, other than it being Hitler I would, and move out of Tennessee. I have I seen on ancestry tree/relationship, that I was adopted. Those here changed numbers, or ask me not to come to their Home, who was gonna fight me over, adopt, my un born grand child, who never helped me with my own. I had no help with my daughter she grew up without, her Dad, Grand parents, any cousins, aunts or uncles. Her dad side very dysfunctional, and Wealthy all whom practiced or allowed their children to be abused ,His mother kept contact with my boss until I was forced out of a job. It has caused much pain and sorrow, to me, and my daughter, who at age 5 had to now share her dad with a man, till he died when she was 12. My reward, after all this Heartbreak,... I for the 2nd Christmas, spend it Alone, without my only daughter whom, I, we, had prayed for and about, then, I got to raise as a single mom, left with 90,000.00 debt no family Support. All I ever wanted was a, Truthful, Loving family of my own. Not DSM case. I guess some are not allowed Good starts, or Happy endings.
