[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 717764, member: 13303"] Hi there, So sorry for what you are going thru. I agree with SOT, please suggest to your son and his wife that they seek a counselor for your gd with a specialty in adoption related attachment issues. It could be that she inherited a bad hand of genes from one or both of her bio parents which triggered at puberty. Many times the sudden rush of hormones can activate traits which were dormant beforehand. In any case, your gd is in good hands receiving care and all you can really do is love your family. Sounds like your son and his wife are wanting to handle this without much input from concerned relatives, so you may need to tread lightly there. Please be mindful that despite how much your gd loves you, and I am sure she does, if she is truly mentally ill or headed that way, her behavior will not always show that love. In many cases it will look and feel like hate. Try not to take any of it personally. Perhaps a counselor to help you cope with these stressful events in your family may not be a bad idea. Best of luck, keep posting. [/QUOTE]
