[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 229824"] My difficult child is also adopted (BiPolar (BP)) We were told that she was not a preemie and the delivery was normal. According to what we were told...she went home "perfectly healthy." Perhaps this preemie thing presents a small biological influence of some sort. With reference to my difficult child...bio mother and bio father may also have been difficult children. There are indications of precedent here. We have friends that are high achievers. However, they each had a parent that was a big time difficult child. Both of their children are difficult children. One is severe...the other a little less so. So, with difficult child-ness...perhaps it can be from one generation to the next, skip generations or across generations. I was thinking of something...I have had a bad problem with headaches throughout the years. Neither of my parents had headaches. When I went to the neurologist for medication to treat them...he asked "who in your family has a difficult problem with headaches? " My aunt suffered from headaches her entire life. One of her children, also has headaches (although not as bad as his mom or myself). However, no one else in the family has headaches (extended or otherwise). It's really just me and my aunt. The neuro said that although sometimes more frequent than other times...he always asks and always discovers another relative with a bad headache problem. It doesn't have to be between first and second generations. With alcoholism...well that seems to be different. There seems to be a strong family link. Often between first and second generations. It just seems to be strongly passed on from one generation to another. (However, I think education and preventative measures can break this bondage). It is my personal opinion, that when it comes to nature vs. nurutre, it is nature that has the biggest influence with reference many illnesses...including those influencing our difficult children.
