No offense, artsyguy, but no wonder you have a hard time making/keeping friends. If your responses on this thread is any indication, I can see why you put people off.

We all need a little attention once in a while. I think Artsy is having a tough week in some way.
Also, he isn't afraid to push boundaries for some shock-value comments...sorta like Carlos Mencia.
ya dude I'm totally brash and brutally honest in real life. I love to "keep it real" dude.
Besides that I'm glad Jeep found some closure in regards to knowing about her family. Best wishes to her.
I still have both of my parents and count my blessings everyday that I have them. They were pretty much always there for me and we have had our rough patches but overall there has been loyalty and care between my parents and I.
Now my Aunt is a whole other story. She is like Mimi from Drew Carey. Who remembers that character? rotfl.

My youngest bio sister is having a C-section, delivering early in 1 hour @ 4pm EST. 1st time of my being a fresh brand new Auntie! So to those of you who are Aunts and Uncles, this is what it feels like huh! It's a boy.
When they come down next month, my son and I will have so many new faces to meet and one brand new teenie face. Pretty exciting, I went out to the mall earlier and bought some gifts for the baby to send. Haven't shopped for a tiny one in ages. So many cute things out now.
My younger sisters really are very warm, thoughtful, and loving souls - calling me every day to see how I am, telling me that they are sorting through the stuff that our mom left to them to give to me - said \that they know that she would want me to have some of it and are bringing it with them, plus, tons of pictures of our mom and bringing her urn for me (isn't that so very thoughtful??), calling me from the hospital giving me a play-by-play of what is going on. . . I am overwhelmed in the most refreshing way.
I take it the different levels of shock will take a few weeks to get through. Just when I exit one level, I enter another.

Well. It's official as of 5 minutes ago. . . and of course, I ran to you all with it first since I was in the middle of posting to threads when I received the email. . . need to vent and need feedback to turn my frown upside down.
Adopted parents sent me an email reinstating that they want me to denounce the adoption and to mock me, ridicule me, and try to humiliate me.
I'm so hurt - as if they didn't say and do enough to already. I mean, they totally mocked me, ridiculed me, and did so many "LOL's" . . . said things like, here's a quote from the email. . . "go with your new loving family there is no reason to keep my name , since you have a new loving family .ILOL! do your thing and LOSE THE NAME., since im sure they are so loving LOL!!!!! they didnt want you and we dont either. you are just a broken unwanted person face it LOL!! must be a sad life knowing at birth and as a grown up you have to look for people to want you LOL!!!"
No one has ever said anything quite so mean to me. Even they have have outdone their own hatred. I am very upset, not mad, but deeply teary saddened that they would stoop so low. For years, I felt like I was an unwanted reject by my own birthparents and knowing the truth on why I was given up, it does not sting as badly now, but I feel the burn from the yesteryears psychologically from how I once believed that. It was a sensitive spot growing up that is now closing up in the past 2 weeks. What in the hell is wrong with those people? How could anyone say such a thing to another human being? I cannot imagine living with all of that unwarranted festered hate.
I only responded back by saying to please drop off a box of my baby/childhood pictures to one of my Aunts houses. Nothing more. - Those are something that I will have a hard time letting go of that I want my son to have. I do not have that many on me.
I am going to go make my freaking cookies now, need to pull myself together.

Yup I'm the eldest, but my sis was the first one out of all of us to have a child. I think I felt almost the same way you do, unfortunately I was living in California at the time of her birth which was C section and seriously preemie...we didn't think she'd make it and I could leave the US to come home to the UK as I was a witness in a trial so it was a month before I could see her. That was 17 years ago Then she and my sis flew out to spent a month with me when she was 18 months and I took her everywhere with me. Can never listen Van Morrisons Brown eyed gal without tearing up. It's so exciting being an aunt. And the cute clothes? I ended up on first name basis with a lot of the sales people at Bullocks and I Magnin down at the mall.
Jeep, I am so sorry that your adoptive ex-parents are such hurtful creatures. I don't really know what else to say. Their attitude is just disgusting. I feel bad that you had to suffer with them your whole life. I hope that your new life with your sisters and new extended family (as well as the loving aunts/uncles/cousins you grew up knowing) will bring you some happiness as you obviously are a caring person and deserve it.
