I'm sorry this is a particularly tough time for you. I'm here for you if you want to talk. I'm happy for the unexpected outcome of a closer relationship with your husband.

I'm sorry you're having a tough time right now. Anytime darling. You know where I am.

Your mom has lost...a secret? A piece of who you are? Power? I mean, I know that isn't what was meant, but I struggle to grasp her logic. However, the need to meet - yes! That makes a whole lot of sense and I can feel your trepidation that it might not happen. I see it happening, definitely. Love you

I asked my husband if he would want to meet his half siblings, were he to discover himself to be DC. He was like, nope. Didn't hold meaning for him, it's "just genes". I do not understand that. I would be like those two half sisters in the podcast, excitedly connecting, and hopefully even getting schnockered with the donor. Finding out there were (what was it? 70 or so?) other half-siblings might make me feel less inclined to meet everyone, like, hey, it really is just genes and I'm busy and I already have my loved ones. Although nobody can know how they would actually respond until it happens to them. This blog has helped me understand some of the possible consequences, good and bad. Glad the bond between you and hubby has strengthened that is cool!
