you never told me

sondrahuxtable:

she came to see me once when i was a few months old. you never told me she was having second thoughts. you never told me you lied to her and told her that you were the lawyer and that my aunt pretended to be my mother. unfortunately that sounds like the games you and your friends always play. 

it never came up?

oh well. i need to stop complaining. at least you told me i was adopted as soon as i could understand what that meant.

I wonder how my birth mother’s mother’s day is.

sondrahuxtable:

Wow. Typing that twice is strange. It looks strange. Mother. Mother. Such a strange word. 

She had me when she was seventeen, I think.  So she’d be 36, or 37.

Did she ever marry? Did she ever have any other kids? Does she think of me on mother’s day?
