Being raised without one of your parents or adopted

Post Reply New Topic

Is there anyone who was adopted or born out of wedlock and raised by just your mom? Or by your single father assuming that it was the mother who left the family or died? Or if your parents are divorced and you stayed with just one of them when yo uvery very young? Did you ever want to meet your parent(s) whom you didn't know for your entire life when you were a child/teen?

I was raised by my single mother because she left her partner - my father - when she was pregnant and I didn't see him until I was 26. I saw him just twice in my life, the first time it was when, as I said, I turned 26 - just one day after my birthday. It was in the court. What a truly great birthday present.

When I was a child, I VERY wanted to meet him. My mother never told me anything about him; everything I knew was that I was as stubborn as him and that I hated eating butter as much as himself. And oh, that I had so many moles all over my body and wavy hair because I inherited those physical features from him. Nothing more.

That's all.

Once, when i was in college, some girl from another group, told me when I said that I have no father that, let me quote her, "I'm a wonderful person, I'm not someone worse" I said nothing then but it pissed me so HARD - it still does What a pity I didn't tell her then: "f**k off you dumb b***h." Because when you don't really believe someone is indeed worse for this or that reason, then why do you instantly start telling this person she isn't worse if you don't believe there IS a reason she IS worse than the children, whether young or adult ones, who do have a father? I think she exchanged her brain for the brain of an ostrich - the brain of one is smaller than its eye.

Once my first cousin who is a cleaning lady in the local hospital, met there a patient coming from the same village as my father - she told her he got a new partner and that she (the patient) was very surprised any woman in her right mind, could ever want to enter a relationship with someone like him I have at least 6 half siblings - three brothers and three sisters, some of those are older and some are younger than myself; I'm somewhere in the middle.
