[QUOTE="Smithmom, post: 743796, member: 23371"] Eliz, obviously none of us know if there's some undercurrent of abandonment in our kids cause many of them just don't know. Yours probably had therapy that helped him look at the world more objectively. Maybe those lessons are what he uses now. I firmly believe that there's a lot of nature in what makes us who we are. So objective, logical people will be that. Emotional people will always be ruled by the most prominent emotion they are feeling. While a million things will happen to influence who we are, I believe that our true nature will out. I also have a foster daughter now over 40 from a horrific background. But a kinder, gentler more loving person you would never meet. Her life is entirely what she made it by sheer hard work and determination. Its who she is, not her childhood, horrible birth parents, truly evil step father, abuse, etc who made her who she is. Its who she is in spite of all that which inspires me. She was truly abandoned in horrible ways. But never let it affect her path [/QUOTE]
