this is much like my story except I never asked those questions, I wasn't brave enough
I didn't even know I was being brave for asking. It was just an innocent question from an innocent child. Little did I know my parents would react more like children then the child I was.
Pisses me off.
You know, when I was in my early teens my father took me to lunch one day and gave me this huge sob story about how I should be nicer to my mother because of all she went through to get me. He told me she had numerous miscarriages, a stillborn child and had to have an abortion cause she would have died without it - and then they adopted me.
Flash forward to my 30s - and after my 4th miscarriage - I'm talking to my mother and I say something like "well you know how hard this is since you had multiple miscarriages" - she said "huh" - yeh, come to find out she never had any - nor the abortion. She did have a stillborn child but my dad piled the other stuff on I guess for the extra effect.
