[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 401616"] I'm adopted. I went through 3 psychologists/therapists/shrinks whatever they were before I was 18 (I was labeled as "borderline hyperactive" and had rages and... well, yeah, I'm a difficult child myself). I never heard of attachment therapy until I started seeing it mentioned here. Do I have trust/attachment issues? Yep. But I also drew away from my adopted mom because I knew at the age 6 that she was dying and wasn't expected to be around long, and I spent an entire decade in that state of being. Add in one broken engagement and two broken marriages, with good reason for me to have trust issues with male loyalty, and I think that explains a lot more of it than being being adopted does for me. Edit: If you want to print my response out and show them, I wouldn't mind a bit. [/QUOTE]
