[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 467372, member: 6705"] I suspect a lot of this acting out is age... Plus loss of Mommy being all hers... Plus Papa dying. You say they weren't close, but if she is close to Nana, then she was around him quite a bit. (FWIW, my Grandpa was grumpy, and I absolutely adored him.) Add in all the upheaval in the last couple of months - new baby, funerals, odd people showing up at Nana's and your home... Nothing's normal for her right now. No big secret that my kids' bio mom passed away in July. Onyxx just got more like herself for a bit. Jett didn't seem to have any reaction at all - and then. I've noticed lately that he's becoming passively defiant, at the same time as beginning to speak more clearly (no one in our home baby talks him at all). Now, Jett's Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) at the very least, likely Aspie... But in his case, what changed was his life got smoother with less transitioning (no 2x-a-week + every-other-weekend) visits. He came out of his shell some when Onyxx went into the foster home, and then BAM - here comes the anger. Does your daughter miss her Papa? I mean, you know it's possible. And of course, things are different for Nana. And you loved your Dad very, very much... It's natural for you to withdraw just a little, to grieve. And... Jett was up my and husband's rear ends for about a month after bio passed - they weren't exactly "close", but he was likely [I]terrified[/I] that something would happen to husband... Or me... And he verbalized it, once, saying we were OLDER than she was. It's not easy. :hugs: ...And... No one mentioned a signature... Helps us keep everyone straight. (Even if we do know you in real life.)
