Thank you Jewlz,

More of the story goes is also heartbreaking. He actually was her adoptive child. His biological mother who already had 9 children was a friend of his mother who died and had adopted him. His biological mother was also in the family and after nine kids decided to give him away to her since she (his mom) couldn’t have kids of her own. He was nine months old at the time they gave him away and didn’t even know his other 9 brothers and sisters or that e was adopted till he was a teen.

He was very close to his mom who died and losing her was very traumatic. And now she’s (his biological mom) is upset that he doesn’t want to talk to her or call her mom. He had a mother and it wasn’t her she lost that privilege when she gave him away. Never talked to him all these years till after his moms death and she wonders why? It’s frustrating sometimes why people think they can just undo damage that has been done over night with simple apologies of “I was brainwashed” No offence. The effects of their decisions continue to effect long after the act it’s self.
