Ask A Therapist: Healing Long-Term DCP Anger

DEAR ASK A THERAPIST: I’ve known I was DC my entire life but have always struggled with being donor conceived. I don’t like or agree with my parents’ choice of using an anonymous donor. I know their decision can’t be taken back, but I’m still so angry. I deserved to know my donor growing up, and it wasn’t fair that they chose this for me. I know the industry influenced their choice, but they still played a huge part in it. How can I feel better about this? -- DONOR CONCEIVED PERSON
