[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 132871, member: 59"] Oh Sharon I'm so sorry, I know you are hurting. I am so sad for our kids, they don't know howto manage their anger and their lives are so out of control. husband and I went to a class Thursday night (we were invited to go by the juvenile detective in difficult child's case). It was put on by a licensed professional clinical counselor who has a private practice but also evaluates and counsels adolescents for several of our local juvenile courts. He wrote a book on How To Change Your Child's Behavior and during the class he said that at any time 35-50% of the children in his practice are adopted, while only 2% of the children in the population are adopted, and he said this holds true for his fellow counselors as well. Anyway he made a statement that I find so true, that our children spend their whole lives being angry at everyone except who they should be angry at. He also said that it is possible to alter one's behavioral core by structuring or restructuring the outside on such a controlled and consistent basis that the core of who they are on the inside becomes modified to conform to external satructure. And that those of us with adopted children have to hang on tight for a very long time and steer to the right as these children will constantly try to steer to the left. He is the first person I have met in all the years of therapy we have been through that I felt really understands adopted children. I hope this stay provides some stability. Hold ontight Sharon. Hugs, Nancy [/QUOTE]
