I've name changed for this for obvious reasons. I wasn't sure the best board to post this on and decided on this one. I hope nobody minds even though it's not what most threads here are about.
11 years ago I had a daughter and she was born with Down's syndrome. I was completely devastated. She went into foster care and was adopted some time later.
I've not really coped since then. I just feel as I've found out I am a despicable person. Some old friends know but lots don't and people at work don't. I feel as if the people that do know must think I'm a hideous human being and the people that don't know would think that if they knew.
I'm so sorry to her for getting me as a mother, if I can be called that. Although she is well looked after and happy.
Is there anyone out there that has experienced anything similar or is it really just me that's so fucking hideous they would give their own child away because something was 'wrong'?
