[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 619396, member: 1550"] I have adopted kids and, unfortunately, the first three years of their lives impact the rest of them, especially if they were chaotic/abusive/unstable. Also, if Birthmom took drugs or drank while pregnant, that can cause certain degrees of brain differences. I'm guessing she had some attachment problems that nobody diagnosed and she was treated for other things and her first three years were not taken that much into account. But that is all in the past anyway. Right now you have a young lady who you love very much, but she is choosing to steal from you and take drugs too. I think you made the right decision in making her leave. She has the option, even with her first three years of chaos the probably messed her up, to get help and act in a socially acceptable way. If she does not choose that path, you can not choose it for her. I am so sorry you had to join us, but we are a close knit, supportive group of moms who deal with dysfunctional adult children and have to sometimes get very tough. And we also have to learn how to take care of ourselves, even though our adult kids are choosing to self-destruct. Hugs for your hurting mommy heart. We are on call 24/7 so post anytime! [/QUOTE]
