This book was something I wish I had found sooner. In fact, I will never ever get rid of this book, and will keep it until I pass. Primal wound is the only thing I have ever come across that touched a nerve, it was like I had finally found answers. I had recently applied for my adoption file and a therapist recommended I have a read of this book. I cried a lot reading this. My maternal grandmother adopted me and dont be fooled into thinking that being kept in the family lessened the pain. I dont think my lovely nan knew what she was letting herself in for, and I am certain she was bewildered as to why I never settled, was nasty and lashed out. She did everything for me and was an OAP herself after having her 9 (then grown up children). I didnt want for nothing, yet still things were amiss. I felt so sad for a long time after reading this, knowing that if my nan had of been able to read it, she may have known just how to handle the whole messy situation. A lifelong journey of anxiety that has left me on medication, was explained with ease by Nancy. I would recommend this to anyone adopting, but more for even the adopted adult, who continues to suffer internally but isnt quite sure why.
