[QUOTE="AMother, post: 699400, member: 20782"] Thank you all so much. I'm doing what I can to keep thechannels of communication open. Yesterday we actually had a long, calm conversation for the first time in a long while (unfortunately, later on daughter went back to her angry attitude). We wanted to talk about her behavior, but the conversation quickly steered to the issue of adoption. She never talked about it much in the past. I'm glad she's talking about it more, but she seems to be worried about offending us.... she said she wants to visit her birth country and we said we'll take her during spring break. She seemed surprised we had a positive reaction. It worries me that she thinks we won't take it well. She came in after curfew yesterday night and it was clear that she was drinking, sigh... mcb1964, your post basically described my worst fear - that we're looking at a life-long issue. What ifshe never makes it out of this rut? It can be seen as normal teenage rebellion, but what if a few years from now she's 17, 19, 21 and still in the same situation? That therapist appointment cannot come soon enough! [/QUOTE]
