i never ever thought about this before...
I've never had a connection with my dad-Spiritual, or physical. I dont even look anything like him, and its always made me wonder why i've never believed he was my real dad. this may hold the key...
After reading this thread, i asked my mother if was her first pregnancy. She said no. Since i know she had trouble getting pregnant when she was with my dad, due to endometriosis, i asked if she'd lost the previous one through a miscarriage. She shaked her head, and looked away. I then said "abortion" and her face fell and she said yes. I then asked if it was when she was with my dad, and she once again said no, that it was years and years before she met him.
Since i was very young- about two years of age, i've told him that i don't/didn't believe he was my real father. And i've never ever believed he's my real father. I know it hurts him to hear this, but its the truth. And this thought of abortion, might be why i dont believe he's my dad. I've seen my birth certificates (both of them- I'm half american. half british) which has his name clearly printed on them, so legally he is my father, as far as i've been told. It might also explain why my mother and i are so close, and how when im away from her for more than a few hours, i start to worry, and get scared that something will happen that i wont see her again. The fear was far greater when i was younger, but i will probably always have a little bit of it for my whole life.
Could these two things; of my fear of losing her, and the abortion idea be linked? Would it also make sense about my ideas of my dad not being my father?
