[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 140059, member: 831"] This may be completely unrelated, but I know if Daughter had been adopted she would definitely be fixated on finding BM and living her fantasy life of no rules and "getting whatever I want". I also know, without a doubt, whenever angry at me, she would zing me with "you're not my REAL Mom", etc. About the last year, or so, Daughter has made bizarre statements to me like: "I wish you and Dad would divorce. I would go live with him and he would let me do, and buy, whatever I wanted". (Yes, I am usually the heavy) Of course, I would inform her that she was gravely mistaken. To no avail. She would just argue back. About a month ago, I told husband about her statements and he was SHOCKED. So, one of their favorite things to do together is go out to dinner and have chinese food :sick:. At their last outing husband made it clear that there was going to be no divorce and that she needs to come back to earth if she thinks even if we did he was just going to let her run wild. That he backed me 100%. There hasn't been a peep out of her since. I think that some adopted kids, especially difficult children, have so much emotional baggage that even inspite of a parents best efforts they just can't seem to lighten their load. [/QUOTE]
