[QUOTE="wakeupcall, post: 26751, member: 2287"] Oh Nancy, thanks so much for sharing all this. Perhaps attachment IS part of difficult child's problem. He's asked very, very little about his bio mom and zip about his bio father. He knows very little about any of it. I DO have a fear of his reaction when he finds out his bio mom kept his other four siblings. He's the only one she let be adopted. We, too, have lots more to offer him and more love than anyone could imagine. He's only asked once about when he could meet his bio mom and we told him when he was eighteen, if he still wanted to meet her we would contact her to see if it was okay with her. I guess all this time I couldn't imagine any of his behavior being an attachment problem. We had one therapist that told us we loved him too much. You have certainly been through the mill with your difficult child. I'm terrified of the teen years and hope we make it through it. I spent hours yesterday looking into day hospitalizations, etc. I just plain cannot see myself doing that, but on the other hand, I can't imagine living with him the way we are, either. We don't know a soul who have also adopted, so we feel like we're flailing out there on our own. difficult child's bio father has many, many issues and he's not even adopted. He's had drug and alcohol problems for many years and has been in the pen for six years this time. Do you know anything about your difficult child's bio family? Thanks again for sharing with me/us. This board and its members have been a lifeline to me. Pamela [/QUOTE]
