It's all becoming clear....

Published on October 17, 2005 By dharmagrl In Home & Family

I had complained last week that my birth mother hadn't been in contact with me, despite having had contact info for myself AND a neutral third party.

Some people said to give it some time, some said that she might not be able to handle it....there were various theories about her silence.

So, I decided to go and do some digging. I know all of her married names, so I searched for all of them in the local newspapers of the town where she lives.

I was shocked at what I got. It's not about her, it's about her last husband (I know the names of all of her husbands too).

He's done prison time for child molestation and indecent exposure. He started out flashing people, moved up to standing in front of people's houses and masturbating, and culminated with touching little girls in inappropriate places and ways.

My birth mother's husband is a pedophile. No wonder she's not been in touch. She's probably embarrassed all to hell. I don't mind, I mean it's not like she molested anyone...but I can understand if this was the thing that's been causing her reluctance.

I wonder what other skeletons are in my biological famiy's closet?

Knowing what you know about me, can you see me having any kind of a meaningful relationship with a woman like that?

No, and I would have agreed with all that said run. Except you are doing it for medical reasons.

I think everyone has covered this pretty well.

Just want you to know my prayers are with you.

Ditto on this!

Just want you to know my prayers are with you.

And this too.

I hope you will be able to get the answers to your medical questions too.

Yeah, and I might not get even that now. if she doesn't want to tell me, there's not much I can do.

Just want you to know my prayers are with you.

Thank you. That's very meaningful.

I hope you will be able to get the answers to your medical questions too

Me too, although I'm not holding out any hope.
