Emotional Overload

I stumbled upon this site while researching the subject of gay marraige as there is a referendum on the issue where I am from.

I have never read such raw emotional stories on an issue that had never come onto my radar before. I realise now how fortunate I am to know all about my family (not all good!) and never thought how it might be for those who do not.

The pain I can see expressed here is heartrending and I feel great compassion for the contributors. I am somewhat ashamed that at an age over 50 I have never thought about my family in this way – I just took it all for granted.

I hope that those here who feel sorrow, anger and pain over their origins will find some peace in the future. If this seems patronising I apologise but I am writing this in a highly emotional state having been so effected by what I have read here.

God bless you all.
