[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do most adopted adults end up feeling contempt or ambivalence towards their adoptive parents? I did not know about this..[/quote] I don't know about contempt, but conflicted feelings and disconnectedness are ver common. Adoptees face many psycological/emotional issues. Of course they do. Seems very naive to think they would not. [/quote] This is one reason we decided not to adopt, I know too many adoptees who don't ever really bond with their adopted parents. OP, it sounds like you are doing all the heavy lifting while your DH is conflicted. Can he go to therapy and learn how to deal with his parents more productively? It sounds like you are doing a good job and trying to be caring OP. Let yourself feel how you feel. Maybe try to see if you have any positive feelings and concentrate on those, or ask and see if your ILs will help you with something. They just may not know what do to or what to ask. [/quote]
