Well, I finally made it here to Adopted-abused and am glad! The information that I have provided is so small compared to what goes through a Child when they are abused by the people who are supposed to love and protect them!

My Adopted Mom is Gone from Earth, She passed away in 2005 and I Loved her so very much! She was the closest that I have ever felt loved but I did always feel like there was a Difference between me and her natural children...I DO NOT blame her for any of my abuse as she was also a Victim who only obtained Enough Strength on her own some years ago! I remember when I was a young man, Her Husband Jack wanted to Hit me yet again....It was then that she stood in the Middle of that Scumbag and said: "No More!"

Jack, I will never understand why you hated me so much and why GOD chose to take my family from me and Left you!?!?

BUT YOU WILL NEVER HAVE POWER OVER ME.....EVER AGAIN!

The day that my Mom passed was a day for her to be free from you! She is Free, are you????

Stealing Power

I would love to feel empowered enough to say the words you shared, but I fail to shake the power of the abusers...they rent space in my mind even though I throw them out daily... I am not a victim in any area of my life, but remain victim to the memories that I choose to forget (but persist).

I so agree with you here. Yes I have felt robbed of my power and sometimes still feel that way. What my adoptive parents and others have done to me will remain an actual fact that can not be erased and something I live with. However, I do know that I have the power to ensure that these acts are never repeated onto other children and that I have the power to make a difference and a change no matter how big or small......I just need to believe in it and feel it more.  I am learning.

Warmest Regards
