[quote=Anonymous]Wow, I hope not.  Sounds like you’re just fine and not wallowing in it or using it as an excuse.

I grew up in a not-typical family and there were aspects of it that when I share appall some people.  My brother and I have very much the same feelings towards it, eh, that was just how it was and it made us who we are today.  I’ve known people (including my DH at times) who can’t leave it behind and want to moan and whine about it 1,000 years later.  I guess in some eyes, that’s healthier.

I did once try therapy, to deal with something else, and the therapist wanted to keep coming back to my parents.  I think like you, because I was matter of fact about it, she felt I’d never “dealt with it”.  But I didn’t feel I’d given her any indication it was an issue, it was just mentioned when she asked about my parents and my childhood.  The same as “and oh yeah, I have blue eyes.”

I haven’t been through the adoption process and don’t have anyone close to me, so I can’t gice any insight on that aspect.  But I do hope it doesn’t count against you and you soon have the child meant for you.  Best wishes![/quote]
