I'll try to keep this as brief and to the point as I can...and hopefully this is the right place for this. My wife was forced by her parents to give up a child when she was 18. Basically, give him up after he's born or find somewhere else to live. She met the adoptive parents and has maintained a small amount of contact with them. Her son, now 18, has reached out via text and they have been communicating (with his adoptive parents blessing). He has asked to meet her now. The adoptive parents are again very supportive but she is very nervous and afraid. I am trying to be as supportive as I can but I have no experience with what she must be feeling and dealing with. We have children and I know she feels a bit guilty (her words) about that. As well as not knowing what to say about giving him up. She also wants her sister (who is very close to her) to go with her when she meets him instead of me, which hurts a little, but I understand since her sister was there during the pregnancy and birth. I guess my main question is what can I do to help her. She has a lot of unresolved feelings, guilt and anger that she is seeing a therapist about. (she attempted suicide over this prior to our getting together) I want to do everything I can to make sure that doesn't happen. I am open to any helpful suggestions. I'm sorry this was so long and also if it is not meant for this sub.
