Pulled From My Arms

 
Had a baby at sixteen: was told he was adopted. I spent years searching for him, but, mom and dad lied to me, the baby had died.

Sigh, this is honestly heartbreaking.. I'm speechless.. In my opinion, if you were told about the truth, it would have taken time but still you would have made peace with the reality.. But, to hide this and lie.. Maybe, they had their reasons.. I truly can't even imagine this tremendous pain of loss that you've went through. I'm sending you tons of love and hugs, dear Constance.. You're very brave, with a pure soul..

Hiya, exactly, it would have been painful but I would have gotten over it, but to lie, to let me search knowing the baby was dead, I will never know the reason, but it was cruel ! I was stronger than they thought, thank you for your kind words and compassion, blessings

Kim, why lie is the question ?? I have asked my mothers grave, I think perhaps at first it was to protect me and then, the lie got too big, I think my mom was afraid of losing me. I stood at her grave and forgave her, acknowledging the baby on the stone was very meaningful for me. Blessings !

Deb, thank you so much for your compassion, I wish they would have just told me the baby died. I was stronger than they thought, but to lie and let me search was cruel. When I found out it was like a dagger into my heart. The search was over, I found him. (tears) Blessings !

Charlotte, thank you so much for your compassion, I only found out after my moms death when I became the owner of the family cemetery plot, and asked who was buried there and found out about the baby, he had no name just baby boy (tears) so I had engraved on the stone, son of Constance, I will never understand why I was never told in all those years. Why would they let me search for him and say nothing, blessings Constance
