How is your friend taking the news? I can't imagine the level of sadness at the thought of your own biological birth mother giving you up like that. Freud says they go through their whole life trying to avoid abandonment.
I'd imagine the sadness easily turning into some sort of aimless wrath. It's like being told you've lived a lie to save birthgiver's face. Maybe that's what happened to Paul Le Roux when he found out he was not only adopted but that they didn't even bother giving it a name.
- nommm-nommm 9y agoUm...wtf? Are you replying to the right post? What news? It was never a secret, my cousin always knew he was adopted and nobody was ever sad. The situation is exactly like any other adoption just was informal in that it didn't involve the government. It worked out very well for everyone involved. Adoption happens every single day.
- brilliantcode 9y agostill must be a pretty shitty feeling your own biological mother didn't want you which is evidenced by the fact that his mother gave him up because he was unwanted. regardless of transparency, it must put a ton of subconscious burden on your friend whether he admits it or not. https://www.mentalhelp.net/articles/psychological-issues-faced-by-adopted-children-and-adults/ https://www.mentalhelp.net/articles/psychological-issues-fac...
