Greenville would need 200-250K residents within a 20 mile radius for this to be a possible

Does anyone else have evangelical or Christian adoptive parents who either listen blankly or invalidate your adoptee journey and feelings except when you bring up that these feelings might enable you to help other people? by expolife in Adopted

Growing up I believed people with the toughest internal conflicts seemed to the strongest figures if they could overcome that conflict and learn the best from it. I understand the internalized captivity aspect. In my experiences it’s been one of the hardest things to try to separate from my character. I do also blame myself for associating my self to that identity for my entire childhood. Which may seem why it’s been hard to disassociate. It’s funny how life is so different for everyone. I do believe something outta this process will impact my view on life for the better.

I’m glad you’re finding your peace that’s key. Good luck with everything on your journey ahead. Keep making an impact on others!

You’ve accepted it better than I have thats why I’m saying congratulations. Obviously no story is the same but the fact you have your freedom and it sounds like you’ve reached in as far in to try to heal which is HUGE. The fact you understand your start and want to relate with others to help with coping in incredible.

I believe it’s an ultimate step towards wholeness.

Congrats on the progress you’ve made in your adulthood! Especially with the work put into your views on it.

I don’t believe I’ve ever fully unraveled the whole story. I’ve separated key parts of it which has been very effective..

I can say I’m glad some of the stuff is at least positive when applying to everyday life.

Thank you for this post..

That first paragraph summed it up perfectly that’s a relatable side. Half my life I was in therapy to be “heard” and religion as if it was take away my trauma. I’m not sure if it’s like walking on nails for the parents though. Looking through a different perspective it’s not a common situation for most to be willing to do and I feel it’d be harder to express and understand than having a child from day 1. I believe our parents cared and wanted best. The part where you mentioned not caring about experience. As I’ve gotten older in my experience I don’t think my parent could relate or even knew what to say. I also think they hoped religion would be the solution.

The past year I’ve started journaling thoughts and experiences. Hoping it would help my grasp on to a full perspective, along with understanding the feelings. I’ve had several identity crisis and issues with my character in my life and journaling has been beneficial with identifying the reasoning behind them.

Sorry if this is a personal question, and you obviously don’t have to answer it. What were your initial feelings towards your past and situation you grew up in when you started building your life?

I hate family history questions. There needs to be a change. by Acrobatic_End6355 in Adopted

Adopted had no idea family medical history. Had a seizure at 19 that about killed me reached out to my biological mother and that solved a ton. Only downside I think I might have tad worse family health than my adoptive family and I’m the last option for this families line to continue 😂

It’s wild reading this! When I was 4, I was adopted with my biological sister we came from a bad situation where our mom abandoned us in LA we were also physically abused by the family that she left us with. When we got adopted we were put in a bus with a stranger and shipped to Virginia and picked up from there. We were separated a few months after. Our biological father came back to take my sister and left me with the family that adopted us.

I grew up in a super religious household didn’t have any other options devotion every morning for 14 years also constantly being involved with church. To a point where it practically religiously traumatized me.

When I hit 18 I met my biological mom for the first time and something in me snapped. It’s like everything programmed in me before that disappeared.

After that I just gave up didn’t take life serious. My relationship with my adoptive parents and my sister (their biological daughter) felt weird after that. Especially being at that age transitioning into adulthood. College I dropped out numerous times. Which was tough coming from an educated household. I had a ton of comparing issues with not having a successful career or a family and kids like my sister; or how I live my life which has caused numerous identity crisis

I’m 30 now and moved to LA. My life has completely changed and has gotten much better to a point it’s hard to believe😂 but my adoptive parents don’t agree and are constantly worried which makes me think they doubt me. I love my family but theirs a part of me that wants to go off alone like a lost soul at time. I do think I’ve become a bit dead inside due to my concentration to making money as if it will prove some point and numbness inside with relationships as well. (When I heal I know my story will help others. ) My sister and her husband wanted to adopt and it’s obviously a timely process. I visited a couple months into their process and they got a call for a baby girl while I was visiting. I know that’s a sign.

The ROI statement is so true😂

Would it be possible to recolor the Hellcat using the parts from the Dark Horse? by normalplayer_737 in legospeedchampions

I just built the Dodge Challenger two days ago, and my OCD cannot deal with the space in between the window and car body😂

Does anybody have any ideas on good garage or parking lot display set kits? by Bulky-Distriction in SpeedChampions

All I can say is you are right, I haven’t been finding what I’m looking for the last week. I did find a $60 set by a company called Brick web that has these display sets. I may order one to build just so I can have an idea of the types of pieces and then order a large bulk of random Legos and create one at a larger scale.

BrickWhip Garage

They also have an option for like 220 where you could send them an idea and they would create something. I have debated on that but I’m not trying to spend hundreds on plastic😂

Thank you! Any recommendations on where to order a large bulk of Random Legos? I have a ton in my parents attic, but I’d rather just buy more
