[QUOTE="DDD, post: 474199, member: 35"] I've been thinking about your post Buddy. Yeah, lol, sometimes I think before I respond. I don't know whether I am correct or not but I know that many of my family members spoke "differently" about GFGmom than they did about my easy child's. They were aware that she added stress and hardship to my life and they resented that I was not able to live "the happily ever after" that everyone expected me to have. She is my biological child. Had she been adopted I assume they would have more frequently expressed those thoughts. I guess the best I can say from experience is that family members are powerless to solve difficult child problems and their first loyalty is to you. The road you have chosen is a difficult one. Had you given birth to difficult child it would have been equally as difficult. The perceptions, however, are likely a little different. I'm sorry if your feelings were hurt by what you Aunt said but chances are her intentions were not evil...likely just protective of her niece. Hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
