[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 634148, member: 59"] I also believe nature trumps nurture almost always. We adopted our difficult child also and so many of her behaviors are exactly the same as those her birthmother did. Sometimes we just have to back off and let them make their mistakes and suffer the consequences. At one point I was resigned to the fact that my difficult child may die or end up in jail for a very long time. Nothing I did got her to stop her destructive behaviors. Only when she lost job after job, was living in a run down dump and realized her life was going nowhere did she decide to change. She was also on many medications growing up. She is off all medications now and managing her life, altjough she will always struggle, she is learning responsibility. It's my belief that with all the talk of legalizing pot our difficult children think it's ok. [/QUOTE]
