[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 59411, member: 59"] It never ceases to amaze me at how many children have huge anger issues who were adopted at birth. Some feel that if the child is adopted at birth then don't have the same issues that children who were adopted later do. I have come across so many of us who thought the love and stability we could provide would make up for almost anything else. Your story is vary familiar to me. We began calling 911 when our difficult child was about 12-13. Several times she was transported to the hospital. Each time we were sent home because she was not in imminent danger to herself or others. We never came across any hospital personnel who wre helpful at all. We began a paper trail with our local police dept on difficult child. She was running away from home, cuttng school, staying out all hours, running with druggies and drinking alochol and one time even snorted adderall. We knew that the problems would only escalate unless we could get her help. Our local juvenile detective was wonderful. He called her in several times with us to talk to her. We had the police out to our house many times and each time they tried to scare her. We knew some of the police by name they had come so often. Finally they sent her case downtown and she ended up being sent to detention for 3 days. That seemed to be the one thing that got her attention. She was put on probation and had to do community service. She spent her entire summer last year taking care of horses at a camp for disabled kids. She is now 16 and thinsg are better than I had ever hoped they could be. And yet we are still dealing with anger issues. Today she dropped her brand new cell phone in the bathtub...our big bathtub in our bedroom that she isn;t suppose to use unless I am there. Instead of being upset with herself she acts out in anger demanding I get her old cell phone reactivated. Any time she ever deals with disappointment or frustration she takes her anger out on me. I am sure her anger comes from very deep inside herself, most of it because of adoption issues and all the feelings that come with it. I don't know if what we did would help you, it all depends on how helpful your community police dept is and the risk you are willing to take. We got to the point where we had to do something very drastic because she was acting our violently and it would only get worse. I hope you find something that will help your situation. It is awful living in a home where you are afraid of your child. Nancy [/QUOTE]
