Both my parents abandoned myself and 7 other siblings. We were left to the State and my grandmother took in the 5 girls...my dad got the 2 boys..but within 6 months the state took them away from him for neglect. We all learned to forgive. I allowed my father to live on my little ranch while I was going through a divorse. My mother, came back into our lives 13 years later...and today, we are all older and less angry. I wrote several books about abandonment...loss...healing. Hug the Little Girl Within is about the angry little girl. And Knowing what Love is NOT is about forgiveness and learning to love yourself. Adele will need to forgive to make her life full. This does not mean she must financially support the people who abandoned her. But she must forgive them for her own children's sake.

Leaving a lasting impression? That happens more times than it doesn't - but to ever resort to "never speaking to them again" is wrong and very childish.

A parents love is earned not a given, she should forgive him for her own inner peace. Raising a child requires dedication, hard work and most of all love like you have never experenced before. One example I can offer that will let you know you will make it through the tough times is at the end of the day when you child is a sleep and you peek in and see there face at that moment something happens inside you that erases all the struggles of the day and prepares you for the next then you know you can make it. I have two boys much older know and still enjoy seeing them tucked in bed to me it is special and that is how a parent feels, not every one has it.
