Confessions continue from Part 1
Below are a few more confessions from my email subscribers during our conversation:
My son hated me. I was a young women who wasn’t ready to be a mother yet. His father died from cancer. I was scared. I wasn’t ready to be responsible, even though someone was depending on me to be there for him.
I gave my son up for adoption. Then, after his twelfth birthday, his adopted parents died in a car accident.
At that time, I was more financially stable, but I was scared about the possibility of adopting him. I wasn’t sure if he would embrace me as his mother. Despite the doubts, I knew that I owed it to him and wanted to be the mother that he deserved.
So, I gathered the courage and adopted my son. It has been the best decision that I have ever made. It took a few years, but my faith in our relationship made the difference. – J. Coffey
—————————————————
I regret not being more involved in my son’s life. It’s hard for me to deny that my negligence led to my son’s interest in crime. He committed a crime that would cost several years of prison. I took the blame for his crime with the hope that my son would appreciate me.
I spent three years in prison and he never visited me or called to say thank you.
I don’t regret it. I had the courage to spend a few years in prison to give my son a second chance. I did feel conflicted because I was putting my life on hold. Although, I did it because I have faith that my act of courage will bring my son and I together in person and in harmony someday. – S. McNeil
