[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 465290"] I too have purchased for my difficult child very special momentos, jewlelry and keepsakes that have disappeared. It was painful to become aware that a child would not cherish some things....and it certainly does seem to spell (scream) something that I don't want to hear. One thing that comes to mind is that she can NOT accept the love our family has provided her from day one. I do wonder if this is an "adoption thing" or an adoption/difficult child thing (more likely). We also share with others here in giving her repeatedly essentials for new apartments, only to have them disappear. She moves a lot. First, she was evicted alot. Lately, she simply just walks away from apartments. I suppose, one might say this is some sort of tiny improvement. UGH. Nevertheless, stuff just disappears. We have learned to give her very little and to make her pay for things with the meager amount of money she has left from her disability checks. Once in awhile she'll work for us to get money. Right now, she has no bed and sleeps on a couch. We've been through a few beds already and well, been there done that and we aint buying any more of them. It is all so sad. I personally struggle relatively often to put it aside. [/QUOTE]
