[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 761458, member: 4152"] “My younger sister was also neglected from ages 4 to 7 in a foster home with her twin sister which possibly played into her separation anxiety because she worries a lot about mom leaving and not coming back.” Just curious…is your sister adopted? If not, what caused this placement in foster care? We’re you ever in foster care? How old are you? It makes sense, given this background info that she would be jealous or wary of the boyfriend and attention he got from the mother. And if he had personality issues too…no doubt he wasn’t caring or understanding. Do you say that her jealousy was intense snd she could be vindictive? Easily angered? This would concern me a bit. But, at the same time good to hear she is showing signs of managing her emotions in a healthier way and has many creative outlets. Our adopted daughter was always very jealous of our bio child; her brother. Even into adulthood. Even when I convinced him to never tease her like some siblings do. He simply couldn’t. He understood. And he was trying to be kind and patient with her…even when she was frustrating. But that only made her more jealous because now he was the “perfect brother” and made her look bad. She was and is triggered by a lot of things. I personally would be a bit concerned about her. Tine will tell. Therapy very well might be needed. Hopefully she has enough positive things going on that she is happy and building ego strength. Definitely some positives here. A wonderful thing. Sending good vibes. [/QUOTE]
