[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 139833"] I'm so sorry. When my daughter was a teen, she once said I was not her mom. I replied (in a not very happy tone), "Then who AM I?" I a sked if I was her aunt, friend, sister, neighbor, etc.? If I wasn't her mother...someone who has taken care of her during thick and thin, during sickness and some VERY (and I do mean very) difficult experiences for her entire life, then WHO WAS I? She never mentioned it again, at least to me. It has come up briefly with her therapist, but she always drops it relatively quickly. I have told her that when she is 21 (and I explained to her that 18 year olds in my humble opinion are not mature enough to deal with this stuff) if she wants to find her bm, then I will give her some help, but before then, it is not a topic that I am particularly open to discuss. She seems comfortable with it. My guess is that your difficult child is just trying to yank your chain. Try not to let it get to you. (Hugs) for your hurting heart. Try to get this kid to a therapist. Yikes. [/QUOTE]
