My daughter, 8 yo, been home for over 3 years, has recently disclosed that she is being bullied at school and that the bullies are using the fact of her being adopted as their weapon.
They tell her she is unwanted, not loved by us, that she doesn't belong with us, that she should be with her "real family" etc etc.
This is having the most awful effect on her - I suspect she partly thinks they're right - she is bad tempered, confrontational and angry, she is taking it out on her friends and on me.
And I am heartbroken. These children are ruining her and making her unhappy.
The other problem is that she doesn't know their names and I just don't know where to start.
Obviously I will be going to talk to school next week, but without names what can I do?
I'm usually not in favour of the victim having to run away but her confidence is so low that she doesn't have anything left with which to stand up to them.
What am I going to do? I'm so angry and upset with them all for hurting my beautiful girl...
