[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 761475, member: 4152"] I’m not sure why I didn’t think of what you just said Busy before. I suppose I did…but…avoided letting it sink in. How ?something? Of me to think some of this wouldn’t happen to me . Don’t know the word. You keep …bringing things to my attention that were there right in FRONT of my face. Omg. Several folks I know with adopted children …those kids left when they got to be adults. It didn’t matter HOW MUCH tine, attention, love, money, professional help etc was put into the situation. I never even though about it in a significant way. I know at least a few. One was a family with two adopted kids. A wealthy family. They got a divorce. Mom said she couldn’t cope. Dad was super rich.After going through heck and back, plus a divorce, I believe he got them a car (s) and phones to help them find jobs. But told them to find jobs and limit interaction with him. And they no longer wanted anything to do with their parents when the parents said “no more.” In another case …well never mind. A departing of ways. Horrible story. I’ve seen this devastation and ultimate rejection a lot. The collateral damage is profound. Tragic stuff. PS Lord we tried. 110 percent. That extra 10 percent almost did us in. [/QUOTE]
