[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 382484, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Sweetie, lots of wisdom has been shared here. As the mom of the tweedles I understand your fears. Your easy child/difficult child has tried so hard to prove herself - to be the good one, unattached from difficult child. I expect she's been fearful that if difficult child pushes to hard not only will he be removed but she'll go as well. Adopted kids have this fear very deep down & rarely share it. kt insisted that wm wasn't her twin; that she had no clue who he was for the first year after we adopted them. kt, in no way, wanted to be part of wm's "antics". In the meantime, kt did her best to hold it together - "be the good girl". In the end, she couldn't hold it in any better than wm. I expect that easy child/difficult child is having some of those same fears. Now that she's struggling academically her fears have grown. AND her ability to maintain & keep herself separate from difficult child has lessened. The end result being an incredibly difficult transition into womanhood with a difficult child brother, her fear of disappointing mom & dad. Sharon, honey, I've been thru this ad nauseum with the tweedles. They've switched roles time & again. You & husband are wonderful parents. easy child/difficult child will come into her own. She may not achieve in the normal time frame her peers do ~ she will be her own person. [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
