When we become a Mom, no matter the category, all we want is to protect our child. More so, when we choose to be an adoptive Mom we tend to be more sensitive. It feels like we are questioning the sincerity of the people's acceptance of our child. And any offense seemed to leave a mark more than necessary.
Just recently, my brother made something that really offended Nat. He jokingly throw a piece of wood towards Nat's mug of chocolate drink and voila - it was like a perfect dunk unto his drink.
Nat came back home with tears rolling down his cheeks, marching angrily with his mug, so hurt with what my brother did. I find it very offensive that I even told Nat not to go back to my brother's place. I then wonder if would my brother even do it to my other nephews? I felt he has discriminated Nat with his actions. I don't know if I can ever undo this feeling of anger towards him too.
*** In the video. Taken I think two years ago, one was taken with Nat wearing Sush's pants so he looks funny in this one. He was actually on the direction to my brother's house.
