i was wondering if anyone is experiencing the same thing that i am.
i am a male that was adopted when i was 4 wks old.
i hate women.
i am starting to think that it has to do with abandonment issues.
my bm gave me up. my apoptive family did their best in raising me. but man i am not a well rounded guy like my kids are as i was brought up in a very very religious home and was really not exposed to a normal family life. my relationship with my adoptive mom is congeneal. we have really had our differences and i dont like her. i love her, but i dont like her.
i got married at 22 and divorced at 36. my wife wanted the seperation. i wanted to try and make it work, but it takes two to do that, so that didnt work.
i have not had a successful relationship since. the last woman that i had a significant relationship with caused me to claim bankruptcy.
i found my bm and bf. they got married to each other 3 years after i was born and had 3 more boys. i only found them about 3 years ago. that relationship is somewhat strained and didnt turn out like i imagined.
that story is a long one that i cant get into here, but lets just say i could write a book.
so lately i have been thinking that the significant women in my life have just not much cared about me.
am i crazy, am i just laying blame? am i looking for an easy answer to my problems. i dont know.
i am seeing someone professionally, and they know my situation, however i think i may have to discuss this all again with her.
what triggered this is that the girl i am seeing now; we had a huge fight and i dont understand why this keeps happening to me. the only common denominator here is me. so i have to assume that there are underlying issues that i need to deal with.
i dont trust anyone, especially a woman. but i believe that it has to do with more then trust.
anyone having the same problems?
anyone?

" I completely understand. I don't hate women. Trust? HA. I haven't trusted anyone since my adopted mom told me I was adopted. I was 6 when I stopped trusting. No one can truly understand what I mean unless they have been adopted as well. My fiance is a wonderful man who tries to understand but I don't think he really does. He wants to know why I can't just love him and the baby I am having next month. I do more than he knows but I just want to know what I did wrong and why couldn't she just love me. The way I see it is no one can love you like your mommy is supposed to and my mommy didn't love me. Not as far as I can tell. No one will tell me why she didn't want me. It's not like I was her first. I was her second. How could she do this twice? "
