Our guest decided that she had second, third and fourth thoughts about meeting School Girl’s other family. She doesn’t feel comfortable. She doesn’t want to see the National Monument as much as she thought she did. Along with lots of other talk about “School Girl must feel confused (um, no; the relationships that she has with everyone are clear to her, although not complete exactly)”, “It must be so hard” (exactly how hard it all is and for whom is not your fscking business), and the like. The usual stuff from people who really don’t know anything about adoption at all. Except this is from someone who has been an ostensible part of School Girl’s life for the past 8 1/2 years.
I need to break the news to M and C. We’ll probably see them next weekend, so there’s that. I’m not surprised, just disappointed. I had hoped things had changed out East. Apparently not enough.
I’m sorry to hear that reality is so hard for some grown-ups to deal with.
*exasperated sigh*
Why does it never surprise me that the kids handle difficult situations better than some adults?!
*hugs to you both*
Emailing you. This is so fscked up…
Erg. People. I’m sorry.
Oh. My. Guh.
Guh!!! People suck.
Ugh! How frustrating.
