Wow. The only ones who ever made ugly comments to me were my step-parents; and my adad once said something around the time my half-brother was born that made me feel like he didn't really consider me to be his son. Reading your story makes me realize I wish I had been closer to my extended family. I don't really have any issues with them, except that I really don't know them all that well because everybody lived hundreds or thousands of miles away, which I think has played into my decision.

Do you intend on going back to social work? How long has is been since you started with GBV?

And again, that was the ONLY negative thing ever said to me about being adopted, by my afamily. But I always suspected she was a bitch(stayed with an assh*le husband her whole life, all for the love of $$$$), and she finally showed her true colors to me...meh, whatever! lol
Since Mom's been gone, I actually have felt like I'm drifting away from some of them, now. The main exceptions would be one aunt, and her daughter, that I'm extremely close to. We get together and play euchre, at least once a week. (as everyone not from Indiana/Ohio says, "wtf is euchre!?!?)
