I am restarting this msg because I deleted the first one because what I was going to say sounds like some typical teens. That's the problem that parents of n's have. Well, my inlaws took in my adopted p/n son at age 15. Their understanding was that "he didn't feel special enough". I told them his problem is "he feels too special". Besides that he was wreaking havoc in our home and we didn't feel safe around him! We endured these years of being "bad" parents. Especially since he was adopted and our biolog. kids gave us no problems. sigh sigh!!

Well, now our son has received a full scholarship to a local junior college, and will not accept it because he thinks THAT college is not good enough. No, he wants my inlaws to pay for a state college @8k a year. I hear he is walking around pouting and won't even consider it. My father in law believes he will "up and leave" if he doesn't get his way. Yep, he will. What fooled them for so long were his grades. I say smart is as smart does.

PS. this child had every dysfunctional behavior known to children.

This is not an adolescent thing. You parents of p and n's know why I am adding this footnote.

I hear you loud and clear! I have spent years as a "bad parent," who doesn't understand adoption "issues."

These P's and N's all share a quality of extreme arrogance. My daughter just informed me that I was immature because I called her out on an awful lie that she assasinated a family member's character with. I insist on a retraction and apology from her, but she now has a school counselor convinced that she may not be lying. It took her several months, but she found the weak spot to exploit in her new school. The school thinks she is improving because she knows the right words to say now, but her character is still rotten.
What kind of society do we live in that we are put on the defensive for identifying and trying to protect ourselves and our families from psychopaths?
