Hi Everyone

I was adopted. It was a very difficult situation for me. I wasn’t accepted by the extended family. I was bullied by them openly and my adopted mother did nothing to stop it. I was told to be the bigger person and not say anything. Not rock the boat, or stir the pot.

They started involving their young children in the bullying when I was older and the children didn’t understand it because we got on well. I didn’t think it was right for children to have to question their parents at such a young age. I cut contact with all of the extended family.

The lack of contact was not enough to get the bullying to stop. It continued to the point of being pushed out of the family over Covid. It hurts.

I’m so sorry that all of this happened. This is not right. Your adopted mother should have stood up for you.

If I was your mum I would have sat everyone down said “Hey, she is part of the family. If you don’t like it, that is tough. You have to treat her with respect. If there are any issues that you guys have it is important to talk them through respectfully. Remember that she is younger than you and has been through a lot.”

I would have also said. “Hey this is child abuse to involve your young children in this bullying. Whatever issues you have, don’t involve your children in it.”

I’m sorry that you sacrificed yourself to make their children more comfortable. That was very kind of you. ❤️

Wow, even despite the lack of contact the bullying didn’t stop. That is intense. I’m so sorry that you were pushed out of the family over Covid. I know that you tried your best to stay in contact and you even tried to reconnect after it too. You even tried again when you had a child.

This is just wrong full stop the way that they treat you. You deserve so much better. You deserve to be accepted and loved. I’m here for you and you have a beautiful family of your own now. ❤️

Thanks Miss Duchess! That is very kind of you to say. 😄 Lots of love back to you too ❤️
