Family Secrets - Bombshell

[amama_in_ga]

I recently found out that I am the product of incest.  For most of my life the secrecy regarding my paternity has surrounded me like a fog that never lifts

I am so proud of how you are dealing with this Angie! You know where to find me when you need an ear because even though you are in a positive frame of mind, this is still difficult.

I love you woman!!!

What a great attitude you have! How awesome too that you have such a clear and well guided perspective towards the whole situation. I hope you are able to reconnect with your family with this better understanding resulting from the recent surprizing revelations. I wish you well in that
endeavor. If you care to share, please update sometime how it is all
coming along. You know in a way, that would somehow make me feel as if I was especially special somehow? I mean the fact that a beautiful child (who has grown into a lovely person from what Ive seen so far of your personality) triumphed out of not so pleasant situation. I cant help but witness it as an example that challenges sometimes bring forth a blessing/greater good in the end.....Take care, T

I'm a work in progress ;) Seriously though, I decided that I wouldn't let any of this define who I am because I am so much more. I'm still healing, but everyday is getting better. It helps having a great support system such my husband and my friends (in real life and here on LJ). Thanks for your kind words T! I will be sure to update about it all, hopefully soon.

I read this yesterday, a couple of times. My boy's were in and out of the house and I couldn't think straight. I could not think of something to say. I still can't think of the right words. The important thing is, that you have family that loves you. Don't push them away. And you are a very smart, strong woman! I can tell from your writing. I'm here if ya need an ear. (((HUGS)))

Thanks Lisa! I know, it's kind of a difficult subject. Don't worry about saying the "right words". Your moral support is plenty for me.

Wow, Angie. You continue to amaze me with how wonderful a person you are. I know people who blame their families for everything that has gone wrong in their lives, but you have never done that. You really should write a book.

*HUGS*

I used to be one of those people. I wallowed in my own misery for a long, long time. Then I realized that it takes way too much energy to hate. I was letting it consume me. I don't want to live like that anymore. My family and I deserve better.

Thanks for your encouragement Irene. I really appreciate it :)
