Last week Marion and went to the National Gallery to see the Vienna Exhibition. It was wonderful, however one of the most interesting things we witnessed was the children from the Melbourne Montesorri School who were there with their teachers enjoying and interacting with the art works on display. The number of questions they were asked by their teachers about the art works was fascinating. So I've been thinking about some of the questions I never asked my birth mother or if I did I never felt the answer was clear and of course questions I should have answers to from my birth aunt and uncle.
1. Why haven't my aunt and uncle ever apologised to me for putting me in a Home?
2. Why didn't my aunt tell me my mother had died when she promised me she would?
3. Why didn't my cousin want the Coroner to investigate my mother's death when the information I received is essential to my medical wellbeing?
4. Why does my aunt think she owns all the grief , she has guilt about giving me away to a Home not grief in any shape or form?
5. Don't they realise it is bad karma to remove others flowers off graves?
6 . Why didn't my birth family realise that I made a claim for legal and moral acknowledgement?
6a. Why did my aunt ring me in Oct 2009 pretending to be Joan from Terang and interrogate me about my friends and when and where I stay in Terang? And then lie when I rang the next night to demand the truth?
6b. Why did my family throw the mementoes in a plastic bag, such disdain and bad karma?
6c. Why did their barrister say- I have been waiting for a case like this all my life! How can such a person make a legal career out of a tragedy? Is he a reflection of them?
7. To my mother June- Why did you choose your sister over me?
8. Why didn't you look for me in 1965 and 1979 as you told me you wanted to do?
9. Why didn't you marry my father, I know he was in love with you and you were in love with him like you told me?
10. Why didn't you tell my father about me, he had every right to know about me?
11.
