Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. I feel like someone wrote about my life with my difficult child. She once said in counseling that "Her birth mother gave her away and I took her away". Which, of course, doesn't make any sense. (We adopted her when she was 2 months old thru an adoption agency.) It has been sheer hell since she was a toddler.
I'm printing the article and framing it!!
