I told my mom that I plan to attend my sister's wedding. I shouldn't have, I should have just snuck into the state, stayed near the wedding and gone back home without seeing any of my family. The moment I said it, mom got all weird and was like 'are you sure you want to go? If it was me, I wouldn't go.' Jesus. Am I going to hear about this every time I talk to her for the next month? What people who aren't adopted don't understand is that at the core of your life is a very traumatic event that from what I can tell, affects so very much of who we become after that and if I can get a little healing, a little closure from going to a wedding, then I will.
