[QUOTE="DDD, post: 289093, member: 35"] What Janet evidently experienced is different because it was not like the majority experience. Obviously ongoing abuse that includes substantial trauma is different. Little difficult child (18) is the difficult child I am referring to in the post. His biomom, GFGmom, found the subject to be like a magnet..she just kept saying that "he NEEDS to talk about it". That is when I found "the expert" who told us both after spending an hour with difficult child "don't keep talking about it or encouraging him to talk about it". I firmly believe that if he had lived with us at the time, his experiences would have been filed away with memories of falling out of the tree or falling off the bike. They were traumas but they were not life-altering. Next year or the year after or the year after that, in my humble opinion, if you feel that there is a need to share with your difficult child it should be short and lighthearted "Hey, by the way, if you're going to be with Grandma and Uncle Zek keep in mind that they both may have some weird ideas and interests."
