We’re social creatures and sensing animals who happen to be able to think.
We’re not, as we’ve tried to convince ourselves, thinking creatures first.
When danger (real, perceived, physical or emotional) is present, the thinking brain is turned off before it’s even aware of the danger.

Well, thank you for that.
Your timing is impeccable.
I’ve just had a friend of over 30 years tell me he’s tired of what I post & doesn’t want to be friends anymore b/c he has relatives who are adoptees.
He tells me he can’t take me “wrestling my demons.” My approach is clinical.

2) I learned adoptee fog is fear, obligation & guilt; pretty much my entire life.
Finding a community that understood what I thought & felt was unexpected. Adoptees are not a monolithic group.
Some have given me insight, courage or inspiration.
I understand others' anger & vitriol.🥚
