Scrutinized or fixed

Just because I tell you about my adoption journey doesn't automatically mean I need to be scrutinize by you.

I don't need to be fixed.

I don't need sympathy.

I don't need to know how so and so does not have a problem.

If you don't get what I am talking about then keep quiet. The topic is off limits.

I don't need you to tell me about forgiveness or anger.

I have decided to not give people the time of day who try to fix me

Please stop

Putting words into my mouth.

I have worked out my adoption issues .

I share because it is part of who I am.

I share I am a survivor.

I share because I am strong.

I don't need pity.

What I need to hear is Bravo. Way to go.

It may sound harsh, come across as brash.

I own my experience. I am adopted and in my adoption I am a expert.

I am living in the present not in the past.
