[QUOTE="Beta, post: 747333, member: 22597"] Thank you both for your responses. Our oldest son, J, is biracial. He identifies as black only however. He is very anti-white. His birth mom told me that she was Bipolar, although I don't know if she was officially diagnosed, and she is no longer alive, but I think he definitely has some traits of Bipolar. I don't know what to think--sometimes I think he genuinely hates us, and other times I think he is confused, bitter, and angry, and we are the easy scapegoats for his anger. He has said some vicious things to us about his adoption--"I wish you had never adopted me." "You only adopted me so you could have a pet to entertain you." Whew. That's pretty hurtful. At this point, NOTHING I say makes any difference in his response. I can tell him a hundred times how much I love him, miss him, beg him to come here and let us provide at least shelter for him, etc. All of it makes no difference to him at all. He only responds with hatred and abuse. I wake up in the night every night and I pray for him each time. Sometimes I cry in bed. Right now, I'm just trying to get through each day without being overcome with worry and sadness. I'm posting here because it seems to help to put it down in print and to know that others have some of the same pain I feel. [/QUOTE]
