[QUOTE="Just keep swimming, post: 11638, member: 211"] Yesterday morning, Aly was ticked off at the world in general. She said she "woke up on the wrong side of the sheets"! husband was home from work sick and was trying to help me keep the peace until the school bus came. Aly was yammering about wanting this that and the other thing. I finally snapped (bad mommy moment [img]:blush:[/img]) I told her she had about 5 seconds to snap out of it or I would snap her out of it! [img]:shocked:[/img] [img]:shocked:[/img] She screamed at husband and said "You are NOT my father, SHE is NOT my mother, I am not going to listen to you one more second, I want to go live with my bio family". husband looked at me, panic in his eyes, I calmly asked Aly if she wanted help packing. [img]:wildone:[/img] We had to wave off the bus and try to get her calmed down. After about half an hour, she was calm enough and asked to be taken to school. On the ride there, she said she really is not sorry for saying that she wants to live with bio family. It is truly in her heart and knows she belongs there, not here. I told her that I was going to have to think about that one, as we ARE her FOREVER family and I wasn't sure what to say to her. She sees therapist tomorrow afternoon, I have a call in to her to forewarn her. I hope we can work through this! Last night, while we were having our snuggle/reading time, she again said that she feels she belongs somewhere else. That she loves us and her adoptive sibs, but feels she should be living with her bio mom and bio sibs. I hugged her and told her that I was sure glad she WAS living with us, her FOREVER family and that we could talk with therapist about these strong feelings she was having. Even her teacher wrote in her journal that Aly seemed preoccupied all day and asked to see Counselor. No idea what she told him, but I am sure I will be getting a phone call very soon from him. I tried so hard to be matter of fact with her, telling her over and over how much we love her, how blessed we are that God felt we were the best family for her. But, she is just not letting this go this time. AND she is ONLY 9!!!! [img]:tears:[/img] Vickie [/QUOTE]
