[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 728312, member: 15032"] This thread reminds me of my niece. She is a year younger than our son but she was always acted very odd. Her parents (my nephew and his wife) divorced when she was young. Mother was slutty and lived like a pig and we think her live in boyfriend may have sexually abused niece but could never prove it. The girl didn't even have sheets on her bed or curtains on the windows or anything that a young girl that age would need, let alone want. She NEVER smiled. Rarely talked at all. My sister (her grandmother) did try to make sure she had what she needed and even some fun stuff too. I always gave her nice gifts for her birthday and Christmas although I rarely saw her. My Difficult Child thought she was an odd duck too. They would often be thrown together when they were young (about 10/11 years old) at family gatherings etc. due to similar ages. She NEVER smiled for many years. There would be pics of her on FaceBook and she looked just terribly sad. No one ever took her for therapy etc. Fast forward to today. She is living with her grandmother, in nursing school, works at a restaurant as hostess and has a boyfriend who has a degree in marketing. She is 100% normal and adjusted. My son. In his umpteenth rehab. He has accomplished nothing in 22 years. I never would have believed it in a million years. I truly AM happy for my niece. I AM sad for our son. [/QUOTE]
