[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 307467"] Star...you are very special to me as well. I may create a special post about this...I have been deeply touched by it. I am interning at a place and "get this...." My supervisor has an adult, adopted difficult child. There are moments (I feel some shame and confusion about this) where I am deeply frustrated at the Universe/God/life by this entire difficult child situation. And then these weird little "coindidences" happen and it gives me pause. The other day we had a long conversation about how she feels the greatest obstacle in these situations is that the adoptees refuse to give up their anger about being adopted. Putting diagnosis's aside, 'cause much help can be gathered there through medication and/or therapy, if a person refuses to move forward in their lives by holding on to anger, than not much can be done for the person. And I thought to myself "what ashame." Think about it. Almost all of us, have something in our lives that has created deep sorrow...a deep loss. But "letting go," and moving forward makes the difference. It was profound. Star...perhaps one day you might "share" more information about how and why you didn't get "stuck" in that nasty place and instead of being filled with hate are filled with love. (hugs). Nancy...you know you are in my thoughts and prayers. [/QUOTE]
