I Went Through Fake Love Over and Over Again

HER STORY

I'm my mom's lastborn child. She was married to my older half-sister’s dad. Even when she died one month after my birthday. So my mom committed adultery with my dad. My mom was in the abortion clinic and my father rushed over, threatened her, and stopped her from having an abortion. I’m my dad's only child, but now I'm 36 and my dad still doesn't want anything to do with me. So at times I have thought about why my dad saved me and that I would have been better off up in heaven with Jesus than living this awful life I've been living.

HOW THE DYSFUNCTION MADE HER FEEL

The adultery that my mom committed with my two older half-sisters’ dad (that she was married to) upsets me because she should have never cheated on him with my dad, knowing she never wanted to give me life. And my dad should have never stopped her at the abortion clinic. I’m his only child. I could have been with Jesus rather than living 36 years of pain.

HOW THE DYSFUNCTION IMPACTED HER

Her adultery impacted me. My dad saved me and I ended up being adopted as a baby and then taken out of my adoption home at 7 years old. Then I went into foster care and I was in many different homes and schools my whole life. I went through fake love and rejection over and over again.

ADVICE FOR SOMEONE WHOSE PARENTS JUST SEPARATED OR DIVORCED

You just have to trust Jesus and get to know Him. I struggle a lot of times and it's not easy, but I try my best.
