Support group

I need to find a support group. I need to talk to others like me..adults, who learned about their adoption halfway into their lives. We seem to be a rare breed. I can't find much online. But honestly, I spend about 15 minutes researching and looking and then I'm overwhelmed and I stop. I understand it's still very soon so I'm not being hard on myself.

But NOONE understands. I try to explain how I feel and I get a nod maybe. I've had a few people say "Dude I can't even begin to understand." And I honestly appreciate that statement.

I find myself getting angry at people now. Before it was just aggravating..but if I hear how "cool" this is or how it's a wonderful "adventure" one more time I'm going to tweak. Why does it seem I am the only one who thinks having everything you've known flipped upside down not an easy thing to deal with?

I'm a pretty strong person. So I'm told. And have been through all kinds of things in my life. And I bounce back. And I keep going. Mostly because of my three children who are my heart and soul, along with their own children now. So maybe people just expect it from me. And in a year from now, I may look back and think..well that was a lot of suffering for nothing..and be fine with it all.

I think a support group would be great. I may have to start one though. Hmmm...
