[QUOTE="Mox, post: 168303, member: 5477"] Hi all- glad to have found you. I have 2 adopted girls who will be 8 & 11 this summer. I adopted them both as toddlers when I was single. I got married last summer. I am writing about my oldest daughter who was my niece (my adopted sisters daughter- and was abused and neglected although not "severely") prior to my parenting her) She grew up having night terrors and night "episodes" sleepwalking and talking ...but all this pretty much ended by the time she was 8 or 9. Last night she went to bed angry (regarding the hall light) and when my husband woke, he saw the shelf in the hallway by her room tipped over and all its contents spilled everywhere and the hall light on. She insists she didn't do it. (younger daughter seems genuinely shocked at the scene) She is passive aggressive, and she has been known to lie. I also suppose it is possible that she could have done this in her sleep, considering her past. I have no way of knowing. Is it reasonable to hold her responsible for this, even if there is the possibility that she did it in her sleep? Thanks ... [/QUOTE]
