He found his birthfamily. No wonder we don't count.

[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 226757, member: 1550"] Thanks, guys, for all the support. Naw, he doesn't know or think I was a good mom or he had a good family. He wanted an upscale, white collar, high achieving family with lots of toys. He is like that. We were a poor match as we are non-materialistic, blue collar, down home and not interested in toys. He also never really bonded, I don't think. I wouldn't advise anyone to adopt an older child...jmo, but it's not the same. The other kids can search and find their birthparents, and we're all for it, and we'd still stay close and strong. This is just another indication to me that this particular son felt out of place with us and I really do think we disappointed him from what my daughter has told me. They were once very close, but, yes, he dumped her too. My son is very different from us. Not only is he a near genius and very smart economically, but he is so religious that it borders on not being normal. He was 29 when he got married and he was a virgin. That's even unusual for women! He is judgemental of everyone. He thinks I'm bad because I lived with hub before I married. Heck, he thinks it's a sin that his dad and I divorced at all. Logically, it shouldn't hurt because we are so different that this was bound to happen. But in my mommy heart, I still love him. And I never expect him to come home. Usually I'm well over that. Sometimes I still have a pang. [/QUOTE]
