[QUOTE="Stella Johnson, post: 11661, member: 9"] My difficult child isn't adopted but we did deal with the absentee father for years. When she got into school she realized that most kids have two parents. It was really hard for her. she started making up stories where he was always the "hero". She thought he hung the moon. She had no idea where he was, and neither did I. Now, he is back in her life with supervised visits twice a month. The hero complex is gone. She doesn't mind him coming but could really care less. She never talks about him or asks to call him. n It was like it satisfied her curiosity and she's done with the obsession now. She knows he isn't a hero. Usually when he comes she just asks him to buy her things. He is still under the impression he can buy her so it works out. He's an idiot and hoestly I think she knows that now. Have you thought about letting her see bio mom? I know it won't be easy for you or anyone else, but maybe it will get this out of her system. [img]:confused:[/img] steph [/QUOTE]
