Birth Fathers

Is there a reason we fantasise more about birth fathers than birth mothers?

I think there is. Adoptees often have no information on their paternal history as often our mothers were not married or were even children themselves when they gave birth to us.

I know I sometimes had an idealised version of what my birth father might have been like.

But now as an adult I have even fictionalised my birth father in my roleplay with my online friend.

That’s a trauma response, right? 🙃

His name is Shen and he is a timekeeper because of course he is 😅.

He travels through time so he has no time to stay with my birth mother or have anything to do with me.

He knows about me though. Which is every adoptees wish, right? That our birth fathers know that we exist.

Also we kinda turned him into an asshole who doesn’t believe in messing with time… even though he tried to mess with our time.

So yeah.

Birth fathers. Amirite?
