I like what Pat B says....
And I know that's right. You weren't stupid, just young and naive. We've all been there and made some of those mistakes.

Delete the word "stupid"
from your memoir...  Stupid is a condition of limited intelligence.  You are not and have not been stupid.  The correct words: naive, innocent, full of youthful self-confidence, and I would add "soft."  What a sweet soft young thing you were, open to life and learning, dreaming of passion and love and happily ever after.  Look at what your risk-taking brought you: a beautiful daughter and grandchildren.  Don't let the tears and the pain stop you from working out the story -- it's part of the process. You'll know and love yourself much better when you're done.

Damn.
I'm still looking for a bouquet of roses to leave.

How sweet are you!  Thank you so much!  I appreciate you comments especially, having been in my daughter's shoes.....she assures me she mainly has thoughts and misgivings about not knowing her siblings....will probably contact them sometime....as for "him"....she has very little regard for him....there's some more to that story I'll relate later.

Thank you for caring....I've missed being around, too!  Besides working even longer hours because of all the ridiculous storms already kicking up so early in the season, I spent some days in the hospital recently and am still recovering...doing some tests related to that....boring stuff like that!  I'm leaving for a 6 wk break Sunday, and will be on here more regularly for awhile...that's my plan, anyway!

Thank you.....it was just an old neighborhood studio shot....you guys really know how to do it up right, lighting and all.  I actually like these old ones better than the "glamour" shots they do these days.

Don't cry....I've done enough of that for both of us!  Thanks again for your understanding and sweet heart.....I just wish I had thought it through, that's all....but, I don't really spend a great deal of time in regret...that's pointless, I know.....I just want anyone who reads who might make decisions of pride, to think first, especially if someone else is involved.....

Thank you for the read.....and the empathy.....I just hate that my naivete had to affect someone else so deeply....but, we make the best decisions we know at the time, I do know that.

What a gorgeous lady!
Your story sounds a lot like my own mothers. My dad was basically a sperm donor also. I never knew him, and he died when I was 15. I feel like I really lost out, but then I might not have liked who he was, so maybe God was just protecting me. Who knows? Life is really strange on how it works out sometimes. I do not believe that you did anything wrong though. We all have our growing pains, its just yours came at a time that it was not as accepted. No mistakes, just life lessons.

I remember this post... or at least parts....
I've missed seeing you around.  Where are you hiding?

..your beauty is something that shines from deep inside...
...I've followed your posts with great interest... but most of the time I don't leave a comment.... but today I just wanted to say that... and to wish you well...

Boy, Krisles...Please don't make me cry....
How beautiful are you? Wow, the photo is gorgeous--You are from the outside to the inside. I like that you write from your gut and explain it all so wonderfully. We all have some regrets, we wouldn't be human if we didn't.  You wrote this well and I understood even though I am not a mother, but I understand not wanting to disappoint the poeple you love. I feel that strongly.

Young, stupid? ... Naive maybe?  That was me too, probably all of us at one time or another.
