I haven’t, but for a long time I considered changing the last name to completely disconnect from my childhood family, who I took far to long to learn had me programmed and did not treat me, or really anyone, well. I’ve been no contact for a long time and it has helped. I no longer feel like who I am is wrong, nor do I pike on the regrets for trying.
I still occasionally think of changing the name.





Having someone in your life that cares and is comfortable enough to share their interests and joy with you?
So horrible.
