My family says I’m overreacting, but I can’t let this go.
each week from our Care and Feeding columnists. For today’s column, we’re sharing a few choice letters from recent months with all our readers. Curious for more?I was adopted at birth by a white family, and grew up with the understanding that my birth parents were Italian American. I have dark hair and eyes, and olive skin. I now have a 1-year-old daughter who has pretty clearly darker skin than I do .
I don’t know where this is all coming from because before this I never would have thought of my family as racist, but I don’t recognize the things they are saying anymore.I want my husband and I to go to counseling or talk to a therapist, but apparently that’s another sign that I’m blowing this all out of proportion. It feels like I’m living in this alternate reality from everyone else.
