    i dont know what to do... need to tell my story..

    28th July 2020. The day I found out the man that raised me is not my biological father.

    I was raised by family of doctors, we always lived a comfortable life, I had everything. However, I never felt happy, I always felt like a black sheep in the family. I never had connection with my dad, although my younger sister did. My mom always used to tell me it’s my fault I don’t have connection with him, because I was a difficult child and adolescent.

    Couple times I caught my family lying about things like when they got married, where we lived when I was little. Many times, I stated to my mom that I think my dad is not my dad and her answer always was that I am talking nonsense, that we have same blood type, same nose, same eyebrows.

    Many years have passed, I am now 26 years old. In the end of July, I was talking to my grandma, and she told me that she met my grandparents from dads side on my parents wedding (I found out when I was 17, that they got married when I was 4), when it hit me. How my grandparents haven’t seen me for 4 years… I send a message to my mom: “I want to know who my real dad is”. She called me.. Started saying that.. she was married to another man, who was abusive, cheating, selling drugs, and much more. When I was 3months old, he started using heroin, and my mom run away from him… met my dad (who raised me) and he adopted me.

    She told me, that she and my biological dad was in touch since I turn 16, she never let him to comeback to my life, and told him to promise that he wont contact me. He is a very well know and successful man in my country now and is healing other drug addicts.

    29th July 2020. My biological dad called me. I flew straight back to my country to meet him. He told me he waited for this day forever.. that he loves me, and all that. He told me he used to watch me all my life, that he hired detective to spy on me.

    He texted me couple times after, but just at the same week, I told him I want to get to know him.. However, that finished very quick, I haven’t heard from him for 3 months now.

    I didn’t heal, but came to a conclusion that it is what it is..

    During this period, I had a boyfriend, who I thought… will be my future husband.

    1st November 2020. We had a Halloween party, at 8am in the morning he left my house and disappeared. Later that day I found out that he cheated on me with transexual women. Nerveless, that he cheated on me with female as well, when? When I went back to my country to see my new dad. He admitted he is a bipolar, which he never told me about before, and when he use substance he want to have unusual sex activities, cant think straight and do.. what he did… we broke up same day, however 17 days have past and I still talk to him daily…

    I am going through the biggest pain of my life, I don’t know how to heal.. I don’t know what to do anymore. I feel like my life is taking out of me on a different level… the most scary thing is that I want to get back with this man, I know I cant, but I start to feel that this is maybe what I deserve, what I supposed to deal with. Therefore, I decided to send message here… what should I do? How should I deal with this pain of double betrayal of people I love the most.

    Welcome here,

    We are not professionals. But there are a lot of people here that have had rough experiences and that come here to unwind, find courage and a shoulder to lean on. I myself have never met my biological father and my stepfather was not the nicest person to leave it at that.

    One thing I have learned in therapy to look at things in an equal way. So you say that I am ok and you are ok. But then you should look at yourself is this good for me? Do I take my values and beliefs into account? And the most important thing is am I happy?

    The questions you ask are valid good questions. But sadly I can not answer them for you. But you did write in your post you did not heal. What do you need to do to heal? And don't look for the healing in others. Like your father or your ex. The healing has to start from within.

    And if you need help with that. What we could all use at times. Seek out professional help. Your GP, a therapist. To help guide you along.

    Hi and welcome to DWD. You're going through an awful lot right now, it sounds like you are feeling overwhelmed with the betrayal from those around you.
    Are you eating and drinking properly? Have you spoken to your Dr about how you are feeling? What country are you living in now? Which is your other country?
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    Hi and welcome
    If you can’t fly, then run, if you can’t run, then walk, if you can’t walk, then crawl, but by all means keep moving.

    Hi and welcome. I’m so sorry, lovely, you’ve had two significant shocks that have understandably pulled the rug out from under your feet. Healing will take time, but it will come. In the meantime, everyone here is wonderfully friendly and we’ll do our best to support you through this
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    Hi and welcome. I'm sorry you have had so much pain recently. None of it is your fault. You did nothing to deserve this pain. It was all done to you.
    It will take time to heal but you can heal. What help and support do you have around you?
