I was put in foster care after my birth, and adopted at 3 months old. I am also Jewish and was raised Orthodox. This is my healing journey.
Ugh

Stop the blame on others for their weaknesses it is always from childhood dysfunction and they were groomed that way. Until they wake up and are aware of how to change you can't blame them.
I am so angry. When did everything become so okay? When did emotions become so evil? Why are people so evil? I was pushed down all my life, and gas lighted by every one I know. I am beyond angry, I want to scream until everyone can hear me and get shaken up to their core like I was. Unless they really are not human, and are just masking it in their human bodies. Pretending to be happy, pretending to care, pretending to smile. When all their lives they were just LYING. Lying to me that they were right and I was always wrong. I was never able to feel my feelings. They were always bad and stupid and immature and petty and silly, well I almost died from them, does that satisfy them now? When it all blows up in their faces and they are left shocked with ugly disfigures. HA! Omg I sound insane, crazy, delusional, straight up retarded. I don't know what I was meant for in this life, but it...
We can only change others if we are whole inside. Otherwise, they will sense that we are trying to control them... For our own sake. To make us feel better about our own blocks. I realized this as I was trying to make new friends. I wanted validation for who I am... But I get confused with how much I want. I know that I need to have self-love first because then I am just relying on others for my self-worth. To make me feel good about my shortcomings. And then it usually falls flat, because they cannot fully contain all my issues. Joe Soll my adoption therapist, told me that a husband or wife cannot be a therapist to one another. That makes perfect sense, because they need to live alongside each other, and not constantly dealing with each other's issues. I guess, I confess, that I have been trying to change other people in every relationship in my past. I did not accept their differing viewpoints, because I felt so in lack myself, and thought that I had to get other's approval...
Now more then ever I feel closeness to my daughter. I realized that it was hard for me to feel I could comfort her, and I used to rocked her and put on sound machine for her because I did not trust in my ability to soothe her alone. But I think she felt the difference in me, because when we got home I was more gentle and calm with her. And also during the last night in my birth parent's town. She felt very alone when I left in the morning, and was screaming and crying violently shaking. When I saw that, I ran and picked her up lovingly in my arms. She fell into them comfortably, and my husband even said "She is probably triggered now from her trauma and so it would be a good time now probably for her to heal with you." I agreed, and she snuggled up to me and fell asleep. It was bliss, and I realized how close we were just then. I wrote last night: It hit me how I may really be valuable when my daughter stopped and looked at me when I told her not to...
