Recently, I've read comments from other adoptees who've been disowned by one or both adoptive parents. One adoptee mentioned that she was disowned b/c she searched for her birth parents. Another wrote that she never really had a great relationship with her (a) father, and doesn't hear from him since her (a) mom passed away.
Have other adoptees been disowned - temporarily or permanently - by adoptive parent(s)? If so, what cause the riff? How did/do you feel about it? If you've reconciled, why & how?
I adored my (a) dad and was a "daddy's girl". Sadly, my (a) mom and I never really bonded, as much as I wanted and tried to. She had reluctantly agreed to my adoption. She was cruel & abusive (emotionally & physically) to me throughout my life. Two days after my father passed away, she left a message on my voice mail telling me "don't call here anymore". Basically, she "unadopted" me that day. That was almost 11 years ago.
