[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 348260, member: 9175"] Suz, She is adopted (she was 8months old) - birthmom was 15 and in foster care for about 3 years. Birthmom's family was very dysfunctional - I do suspect there were mental issues, but we have no medical history. Also nothing on birthdad. As to the ADHS diagnosis, she did show concentration problems before that but no signs of the hyperactivity part. psychiatric said that does not always manifest itself as outward disturbance, but their minds can be going in circles. Knowing what I do now, I think it was more than that all along. The boy obsession has been there - I kid you not - since kindergarten It was a milder version, granted ... but there. The lying has been present all along - it's just gotten WAY worse, but it has always been a problem. Her dad left when she was 15. It was VERY sudden and a huge shock to both of us. We got along great, were very loving and never fought. I know it left her reeling and she definately has gotten worse since then. Thanks for the advice about holding back. I never would have thought of it, but I'll take it from a been there done that ... and it does make sense. dash [/QUOTE]
