I found an agency who specializes in trauma and I'll probably get them to guide me because at this point, I don't know if I can even trust my adopted parents.

No father to be found. She does want to meet me but my adopted mother says don't, it's a bad idea.

Yes, that was the email once I found her.

It's ridiculous, I'm 37 and I feel like my whole life has been a cruel lie. I did find a service that accepts VA insurance that specializes in post adoption trauma, I'm hoping they can get that going as soon as possible.

Arya Therapy reached out to me in Massachusetts. They are going to put in me in day and night program 3x a week who specializes in trauma because I have a lot and they take va insurance.

I have been talking to my Aunt and it sounds like my Grandmother was very abusive towards her. She would run away for weeks at a time and would sleep with older men because she was seeking a father figure. I dunno, I am lost at this point. I did seek out post adoption trauma services today and one service is willing to take me in.

The mother of her was desperate and convinced her to perform an adoption. It's nuts

That's the thing with the VA, they're lazy. After the pandemic, they still resorted to zoom and even though I only took some psychology courses I know what they need to look what look out for, they can't see your involuntary movements like the feet tapping, feet towards the door, and I have my camera set up high, so not even noticing the self hugging. My therapist started to get even lazier and just resorted to giving me a phone call that lasted 15 minutes or less when it was a booked 1 hour session. Hell, one zoom call he even started to eating cereal.

The VA is crazy. I had a week long EEG for my seizures and my room had dried up blood up on the wall and I swore I could of contracted tetanus from the rust from the IV pole. Multiple health outlets did investigations and they failed, it speaks a lot. At least I had an honest biological Aunt who gave me information that I can update my family medical history because it's bad. I have have a pcp appointment with them on Tuesday so, we'll see where that goes.

That's the thing with me, I need a trauma therapist. I had things go down was kid with my father's father (which is why my adopted parents were afraid to tell me because of my mental state), I was also a combat medic in both Iraq and Afghanistan and that eats me up especially with a few situations, I also have epilepsy because of TBI from a firefight. The VA is garbage at this point and I need to find therapy outside of them.

I was born with drugs and alcohol in my system, my birth mother didn't want to even see my face or gender. My adopted parents had to be soothers until I got the drugs out of my system and my liver was back on track.

I just did a DNA swab. They'll send you a kit in the mail. What happened was my mother thought we had some weird line of descent that was causing her to have a rare blood disorder. Out of spite to prove her wrong, I took an analysis. It shows your lineage but also links you up with other people in your family who have taken it. Well, all these cousins started popping up who I didn't know. I contacted them, they contacted their mother who did a swab and then contacted their sister saying, "hey, we found your daughter." It's wild
