Long Lost Family August 11

This is powerful stuff. Normally I am blunting by now but am in shock for this guy. He already had self esteem issues, how must he feel to know that his parents married and went on to have 2 more sons.
His BM seems a bit hard - I am probably doing her an injustice?

This weeks has been quite hard for me to watch, especially the last one.

My bio dad was very like the mum when I met him for the first time. Talking about the past but nothing present or future based. He left my life just as fast as he entered it, and sadly I think it will be the same for this bloke. Hopefully I am wrong.

I felt like today's programme wasn't.,. I wasn't crying of happiness today.

I didn't feel like Jackie didn't have a connection with her birth mother. Sheila was pouring her heart out to her and I felt Jackie was just holding her guard, or maybe not allowing her emotions to get the best of her.

The mother who adopted her son, I was very sad for him. She didn't seem like she cared, like she already forgotten him, like she said "...it was pushed at the back of her mind". Sorry, I don't care if she was 15 or whatever when she had him, but the fact that I gave my child up for adoption and he/she could be out there somewhere. No way would that be pushed at the back of my mind, I would want to but I would not be able to. I do understand the bit when she was saying ".... I only told people that I have 2 sons not three as it hurts..." Etc.

I felt it was even harder for him having to know they stayed together and had more children as if replacing him. Perhaps even worse they were boys too. He seems to find it really hard to take in which is understandable
