What would you ask your biological mother?

I am without father and mother. I don’t know what the warmth of a motherly hug was like. I can only extract from my wife’s abundant love for our three beautiful kids and sometimes envy how much she absolutely loves our only baby boy!

I have concluded that I was either kidnapped, rescued or purchased as a baby. The people responsible for “sourcing” me refuse to answer and at old age now “pretend” to be senile to avoid being confronted.

My adopting mother, lacked the maternal instincts and was always busy making money in her restaurants or drinking herself into detox hospitals. I was raised by aunts, uncles and cousins. In total, I spent 7 years sporadically with her. I have tremendous appreciation and gratitude because I was lucky to not have been abused—all I can be grateful for in today’s world. Today, she wants to tell me how much she loves me. I cannot reply nor say it back…there is just nothing there. In the entire family, and against all odds, I am the first to have achieved financial freedom —if you know what I mean.

So I often fantasize about what I would ask my biological mother if I were to find her —not that I’m searching at 50. I’m curious to know from others like me what you would ask Her:

Why did you abandon me like a dog? Did you feel anything when you sold me? Do I have siblings? Who is my father?
