[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 117719, member: 3419"] Hi, welcome to the bb. You've gotten some great advice. I would like to offer a suggestion, in regard to detaching -- I have learned not to take so personally everything that my son does, to not assume that he actually hates my guts, and to walk away when he is getting argumentative. THAT to me is a form of detachment. I hope your s-i-l means that sort of detachment and not totally throwing the child out on the street. with-our son, an adopted difficult child, we have learned that consistency is extremely important, as are natural consequences. He used to do a lot of what your daughter does and it is much better now. It does sound like you have a lot of other issues going on, especially since you know the bmom's health history isnt' stellar. Our son's bmom didn't do drugs but I still think there's some genetic stuff going on there with-ADHD and basic personality. I like the book suggestion, "Identical Stranger," Nancy. I'll look it up. Good luck, luvmyottb. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
