Hi Wendi,

It's good that you sought some therapy and that you found some answers about your birth mother's condition. Though she might have had certain issues, it is still very sad that you and your sister had to undergo so much and that the scars will remain for a long time. But I think it's brilliant that you are so positive and strong about this! It's indeed very admirable after having suffered so much.

I'm pretty shocked to hear about your younger siblings - that must be so heartbreaking to learn about. It's almost like a quest now, to go to those places and uncover more stories. I hope that it will give you some answers to some deep and difficult questions, and hopefully some solace too. I wish you the very best with that <3

I think it's nice that you have a fascination for exquisite objects like those pens I think it will be a good idea to keep some perhaps, especially since they seem so valuable.

Take care and get well soon!!
