If you found out you're adopted and your bio mother tried to finish you (as a baby) off would you confront her?

[Anonymous]

Scenario:

You're 11 months old and your bio mother (a single mother) snatches you, throws you off the balcony from the 7th floor so she can ran off with her lover but you land between a patch of mulch and grass. Somehow you survived with mild bruises and a fracture. No brain damage. Many years later (now in your mid 20's), you find out your loving mom and dad are your adopted parents. Then you find out the real truth of your bio mom's attempt to finish you off.

That's my best friend's story. Her adopted parents and the rest of the extended family members are her family. She doesn't know whether to track down her bio mother and confront her or not. She hasn't decided that yet. Would you have confronted her?

Yes

She loves her adoptive family. They're her real family to her but she's still heartbroken about what her bio mother tried doing. She doesn't understand why anyone would throw a baby off the balcony.

yea, that really throw a person for a loop wouldn't it. I'd want to know why.

Thankfully I had two good parents that gave me a chance. so many.. too many, have not had so good. each has to work through life from their own start point. no wonder the worls has issues.

Nope. I've tried to kill myself before, me and her are on the same wavelength

[lightbulb27]

are you saying she tried to kill herself or that because you tried to kill yourself.
what was the underlying reason for wanting to... your mothers level of care?
I'll stop there, but I'd had that thought..."end it", many have. Life is some work sometimes...

I'm saying since in this scenario, my birth mother tried to kill me, and since I tried to kill myself too, her and I both did the same sort of thing.
