[QUOTE="pacific ocean, post: 702781, member: 21010"] She was adopted at birth. We have little information about her bio parents but heard they were in prison getting in and out. We suspect and think difficult child has attachment issues. But she has been difficult, different from the day one. She refused to be held, excessive crying, no sleep, not interested in eating... She was always ahead in development and very smart. But emotionally she wasn't as I took back. Still immature to this day. Her black or white thinking started early and when she got to learn all the words, she tried to argue with us and others who didn't agree with her. She still does this in a harsher way. When she is calm, she would appear to be a very considerate person. We never want the reason for what makes her where she is from or how she was brought. We want to believe she has a potential to stand on her own and live a peaceful life with others around her. My husband and I could be hated by her but we feel we own so much for people who have done so much for her while she reached to this point. Also, I want to share that she started claiming she is gay, only loves women, and identifies herself either man or woman. This perplexes us because it came suddenly in her 2nd year in college. Again, it's her choice but we got worried this would add more dramas in her life. Thank you, SomewhereOut There, for your time. We live in a different time zone so sorry for taking a bit longer to reply. [/QUOTE]
