    "This is my family. I found it on my own. It's small, and broken. But it's still good."

    Yeah, still good.

    Please tell me why I can't stop crying...

    Because you have a genuine, loving and human heart. Rejoice that you still feel.

    Hugs, and Happy Thanksgiving.

    What a nice thread!

    I had Thanksgiving with my non-dub family that I have only known for a couple of years. It is nice that they include me in the holidays, and treat me as though I were never in the "truth", and they love me unconditionally. Still, I kept thinking about how I wished that I could talk to my Mother, but she will not take my calls or answer my e-mails. Last night, my Uncle brought out family pictures, and there were several of my Dad when he was younger, and also his Newspaper obit. from when he died-my dad was also a dub, and I didn't know that he had died till 3 years after the fact, and found out searching the internet of all places. I am thankful at least that I have "worldly" family that loves me anyways, and was able to share the holiday with them, even though the people that gave birth to me deny my very existance...

    Jeez, that is terrible - awful. Really this is unbelievable. It makes me determined to always do the right thing with my kids.

    I'm glad you have something to be thankful about.

    Ohiocowboy -- Your statement made me incredibly sad. I wanted to ask you if you were joking, but I know you are not. That is so incredibly cruel I can hardly even believe that. I wouldn't treat my worst enemy with such an indignity.

    I am glad that you were able to have a happy holiday.
