Did the answering machine say her name? Would you like me to get you some other numbers for her? Check to see if her address is current? I don't know if you remember me I aggravated you once on Julie Shapiro's blog. I reunite families for free. I was just reading thru your blog. I thought I'd offer if you want to confirm the contact info you have on her. I'll do that for you.

It may be hard for you or others to believe but it's not that big of a deal to me that she hasn't called back. I don't understand it, yet I do. She doesn't know me so she has no clue as to what an awesome person she's missing out on knowing ; ) Seriously though, I think if she knew my motivation, or lack there of, she may more inclined to have contact.<br /><br />I think I will contact one more time letting her know I get it and accept it but would appreciate knowing my biological father's name.Campbellhttp://campbellscoup.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210353425616744235.post-5434080736316155712010-07-07T20:09:30.141-07:002010-07-07T20:09:30.141-07:00Campbell- Thinking of you!

...Yeah yeah Lori, it changes everything to be sure.<br /><br />Kinda sorta but not really the same, when I first split up with my son's dad I isolated myself, and this included much phone avoidance. One night, argh, I wasn't answering and my ex ended up coming and buzzing my apartment to tell me my dad had experienced a mild heart attack. Needless to say I "snapped out of it" and made a much more concentrated effort to at least check my messages...gawd.<br /><br />Kris, thank you : ) So far nothing's happened but, maybe that's lucky!Campbellhttp://campbellscoup.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210353425616744235.post-46209824720242085002010-06-27T17:00:51.085-07:002010-06-27T17:00:51.085-07:00Campbell - LOL - you are never alone!

Let me pose that question this way....<br /><br />How could you think that you wouldn't be in the mood, unless you wanted to avoid it?<br /><br />Personally, there are days when I don't really care if I talk to anyone. But when the phone rings, it is still answered.<br /><br />What I heard you say is that you are hurt because she didn't respond and so you are thinking you are right in your analysis....maybe I am wrong, which, as you know, I am good with. But I used to rationalize things that way when my mother, who actually raised me to age 9, would not respond. Now I simply figure her loss.<br /><br />I wish you luck on your journey.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05815710859859029536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210353425616744235.post-49633483028828124412010-06-23T14:51:20.934-07:002010-06-23T14:51:20.934-07:00Good luck!Good luck!Mei Linghttp://sisterheping.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210353425616744235.post-83191389841411321622010-06-23T09:20:35.701-07:002010-06-23T09:20:35.701-07:00That's what's odd about it all.
