There is much positive encouragement to be garnered from speaking the so called "unspeakable". Yes, I have many times been countered with the same retorts as mentioned above such as, from one of my sisters, "Well, She's the only mother you've got". I can count the number of "mothers" on more than one hand with whom I have been fortunate enough to cross paths. They have been more of a mother to me than the one that simply birthed me as that was enough in to be a mother in her eyes. Moreover, sharing my biological familial experiences with Rebekah is one of the best things that I have ever done. Her supportive comments were, at first, unbelievable; a shock to my system as I have never been received well by others upon finding that I decided it healthier not to continue to be negatively influenced by my biological family. Now, I treasure what she has to share as she always meets me with the positive support in many directions that has so long been missing in my life. Rebekah, along with others in my community and as far as France, have become my family. I don't think I would have survived this long without them. And what a healthy little girl that Rebekah spends her days and nights with; pass on the the torch of love little one! What we need is more strong people like Rebekah to stand up and speak honestly.

Having grown up in a pretty dysfunctional family, I understand that sense of guilt and wanting to normalize the pain. It's been a long journey to begin to create healthy boundaries and let go of outdated and unreal expectations. Thank you for sharing your journey. You are a brave, honest person. what a beautiful, heartfelt and tragic essay. Having grown up in a pretty dysfunctional family, I understand that sense of guilt and wanting to normalize the pain.
