[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 488302, member: 1233"] ((((((((((hugs)))))))))) and Welcome! the others have given great ideas and comments. I honestly think you are dealing with attachment issues even if the docs you have seen haven't seen it. Logically thinking, there HAVE to be attachment problems for a child who had an adoption break up. Your mother in law isn't difficult child's target and likely has been manipulated by difficult child to think hwat she thinks. One of the hallmarks of attachment issues is manipulation that goes WAY beyond the ordinary. It is a survival skill for an attachment disordered child. PLEASE read up and look for help wth the attachment problems. Try talking or maybe writing a letter to your mother in law about the problems and how you are hurt by her suggestion and how you need her to work WITH you to provide a level of consistency to HELP difficult child. Ask her to think about how it would damage difficult child to have an adoption break up - and then to realize that having a 2nd adoption end would make things at least a million times worse. This is an awesome board, and you will find a LOT of support and ideas here. [/QUOTE]
