[QUOTE="Maisy, post: 705030, member: 20161"] I can relate to all of the above responses. I think that it does not matter if a child is biological or adopted, the feelings are still the same. I guess the only difference would be that a parent of an adopted child does not always have that child's biological background but in the Long haul, how we deal with our difficult children is still the same. I found that I struggle so deeply with turning off my gut reactions when my son acts up which is frequent. I want so badly for him to be calm and rational which is not in his make up right now. Everything is a drama with him and I find that my emotional state is always tied to whether the day is going smoothly or not. I feel that this prevents me from fulfilling my destiny as a whole person and my happiness. I have to hide my true feelings so I do not burden the other members of my family. Most of the time I just want to hide. [/QUOTE]
