[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 434454, member: 1550"] Hi there. I'm having trouble understanding where the problem is coming from, which makes it harder to give any of my .02, but welcome to the board. You are NOT alone. When my two youngest kids (both adopted, so that you don't think I dislike adopted kids) were very young, we adopted an eleven year old boy who sexually abused them for several years. We had no idea (talk about feeling guilty) and he scared them into keeping quiet. All the while, he acted like a great kid to all adults. Once he was caught, he was gone and we have never spoken to him again. The kids did get help, but both are doing well emotionally, which leads me to ask... Is this all about the sexual abuse or are there other issues that may be playing into this? Obviously biological dad is somewhat abnormal (to put it mildly). Does he have any psychiatric diagnosis? Are there any psychiatric diagnoses on either side of your daughter's family tree? What kind of help has she received so far? Have you taken her to a neuropsychologist as well as therapists? Any medication? Also, what kind of behaviors have you worried? Stay with us. Others will come along. Weekends can be slow. [/QUOTE]
