[QUOTE="ready2run, post: 469585, member: 11339"] my difficult child had 3 other bio-siblings and when their birth mom gave them away after the youngest died 'mysteriously' they all went to different homes. he was 2 then and does not remember his other siblings as far as i know, i have asked him about them and shown him pictures. he said he didn't know who they were. he has no access to them. when it comes to how he has effected my family, it has not been favorable. if i had to do it over again i would have passed on taking him in permanently. my other kids have missed out on alot of attention and opportunities they needed because he is here, and i have often feared for their safety. it also changes them to see another person act out in such a way and to have to deal with his behaviour day in and day out. honestly, i think taking him in has probably been one of the biggest mistakes of my life. don't get me wrong, i do love him and i know he loves me. i know that having me here has been a great advantage to him and all the work i've put into him has made a big difference in his life, it comes at a cost to my other children, my sanity and my marriage.
