I'm not entirely sure why I'm posting this - I guess I just hope someone out there can perhaps share their experiences. My husband and I adopted 2 sisters aged 6 and 8 almost 10 years ago. We've been a very open and happy family until just under a year ago when it feels like the bodysnatchers took my eldest daughter and replaced her with a cruel, hysterical, thoughtless child. She spoiled our last summer holiday and just seems to constantly want conflict. We've resorted to private psychotherapy at £75 an hour which we cannot afford indefinitlely. I've read numerous articles and her behaviour is very typical of teenage adoptees - so she's transferring all her negative feelings directly to me - I'm not sure how much more I can take. I really can't articulate how horrible it is to live in our lovely family home - please tell me we'll get through this........
