[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get a great therapist instead. The scenario your daughter probably envisions doesn't encompass the range of awful ones she could encounter. Closure comes from within and not from another human being.[/quote] What a trite, empty thing to say. The only “closure” my mom and her first daughter ever got was through meeting and having a relationship 35 years after my mom was coerced into relinquishing her for adoption. All her life my sister was m offered and abused. And all those years, my mother was grieving and tortured by not knowing. Meeting didn’t erase the pain they had endured but it closed the door in the last pain and opened new doors with possibility for connection and joy. Reunions don’t always work out. But they often do. There is no kind of “from within” closure that could have happened for my mom and sister without being in each other’s lives.[/quote]
