[quote=Anonymous]As a scientist, I wish to point out that the instinct of passing on one's genes is all-powerful. Individuals recognize each other as genetically related and this motivates them to form tribes to better protect themselves against external dangers, including strangers. OP's emotions are perfectly natural in that sense. And even though she probably adopted her DC years ago, identity/relationship crises have a nasty habit of resurfacing in times of stress - like having a moody teen around :-). I would even say that in a loving relationship some general type of questioning is healthy for both involved. Parents of bio children do it, too. A degree of distance must develop between parent and child in order for the child to become an adult. There is nothing like measured conflict to create that.[/quote]
