[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 535096, member: 59"] I'm sure she would not go to counseling because she doesn't see anything wrong with how she is living and we have used all our money on years of counseling so we just cannot afford to do that anymore. husband is at the age where he should be able to start thinking about retiring and that is so far off in the future now because of our expenses with her care that I don't know if he will ever be able to retire until he just isn't able to work anymore. And yes she does seem to do well for a couple months but can never stretch it into a significant length of time. When things start to go well she self destructs. I think the reason she is not more fearful of STD's is because it is not in her makeup to think about anything but the present and right now she is fine so she doesn't consider what the future brings, and because consequences have never mattered to her. TL I have heard that percentage from several sources and from my experience it is certainly true, but remember they said from minor to severe. Also the percentage of people in jails and foster homes and in the system some way or other is much higher for adoptees is much higher than in the general population. Nancy [/QUOTE]
