[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 346474"] All of the responses resonate with me. The immaturity, the attachment issues, the low self esteem, the desperate desire for a friend, the lack of boundaries, etc. This concept of little to no ability to recognize cause and effect is sooooo interesting and sadly, so familiar. I see it with most, if not all, difficult children. For some reason, it somehow sometimes seems a tad more pronounced in difficult children who are adopted. Sometimes I think it is a combination of mental illness combined with emotional/attachment issues. A double whammy. Thank you so much for these responses and for the caring words. As you all know...watching these things repeatedly can get [B]draining.[/B] We do our best to detach...but we are human and have our moments. p.s. I do not know if it will get us anywhere, but I have written her benefits person at the disability office and asked that arrangements be made to send difficult child a weekly caseworker. I'm also contacting an another agency in town next week. difficult child says she refuses to let one in the house...who knows how this will go... [/QUOTE]
