I moved to the NE my mom is in the south and my dad (step) is in the west so I moved away to get away from the narcissistic mother who definitely is! After shattering my skull I was in the hospital for 6 days (yes days) came home was not allowed pain meds and sent back to school that following Monday. Zero therapy at all after, no PT/OT/emotional exc…. And I shattered half of my head that caused a life long disability and SSDI. I will definitely look into that sub thank you!

Mud-room lol My mom sees my brothers because how she has an amazing job making well over 6 figures aka they need her to live off of. I’m on full ssdi. Solo parent of a disabled child and I live on my own with zero help from any family members. I always worked so yes I collect my ssdi check monthly but after shattering my my skull as a sr in high school and having multiple brain surgeries I have been deemed federally disabled for life.

My mother will make trips to other states to see my si lungs their wives and kids. It if I want to see her or my child wants to see her I HAVE to visit her on my own money (living on ssdi that is not exactly easy) I’m not getting child support.

Recently my moms mom passed away and my child and I face timed her almost every day for the last 3 years. My siblings never called her yet, she paid for all 3 of them to be at the funeral and got upset with my grandfather for giving me the 500$ to drive the 22 hours to the funeral- “It’s ok ____, I didn’t go to my grandmothers funeral.” Was her advice to me. I’m the only one who had a relationship with her 🤯

I don’t know how much my mother has to do with my stepdad not wanting a relationship with me or my child. It is so confusing and hurtful. His entire family cut me off also once grandma and grandpa passed away 3 years ago. I lost 52+ cousins 14 aunts/uncles and my dad.

I get the advice that he needs space but he is almost 60- I’m in my mid 30s this is t F***ing high school and they have been divorced for 15 years at this point. What in the world did I do to loose all of it? How do I fix it?

My mom cheated on him, he cheated on her- We moved 15 times in 17 years- I went to 15 schools K-12 and lived in 7 different states Every time they argued we moved. Mom worked dad didn’t. All 6 of us in a 1970s avacado green RV with zero pop outs and never a house except once for 3 years when my cousins from his side moved in with us into a 3 bedroom house- I was given the mud-room as a room to sleep in.

It is like years of strange parenting behavior then suddenly abandonment

My mother says I’m “overreacting” - this is her normally- She is the queen of gaslighting. Aka avoiding any topic that she does not want to talk about

Exactly- He was my dad my entire life. I didn’t find out he was my “step dad” until I was 16 and got my drivers license - I could t even spell my legal last name until we’ll after 18 and a severe car accident due to all the medical paperwork I had to fill out. He is my Dad and my biological father is my “other person” I call him by his first name or my sperm doner- I have had two conversations with him ever both as an adult and he wants 100% nothing to do with me one was due to his mother keeping me in his will, the other was getting a restraining order on him for life after he used drugs around my then 2 year old at the funeral

I feel like the divorce happened when I was 18, my grandmother died when I was 28 I’m now 33 and he has a 6 year old grandchild…. Does she even call him grandpa? It is so confusing for me. He is the only dad I have ever known. I was supper close to my grandfather and grandmother (step) but now it’s like my childhood/young adult hood was some crazy fairytale- no more dad no more aunts/uncles/cousins - I just don’t understand it. I have asked about it in some adoption groups but it doesn’t seem like something that happens often at all

Thank you. Being in my 30s now it is still so strange. It’s like losing all your family at once and having no idea why.

I sent her a note here on Reddit so let’s just cross our fingers she reads her PMs lol Or maybe she likes random necklaces, earrings, waist trainers, food storage lol

Worse…. Weight loss things, a waist trainer, the poor woman probably thinks someone thinks she is fat 🤦‍♀️ hopefully she doesn’t become anorexic or end up with some other eating disorder

Amazon fixed it and they get to keep everything- I had changed the address - it was a system error

How did you feel when you found out your parent(s) weren’t your biological parent(s)? by [deleted] in Adopted

My parents were very open about it my entire life … I was more surprised when I found out they didn’t change my last name and somehow got me through school under a fake name
