being abused is NOT normal...never has been, never will. There's something wrong and i can't even express to you how sad it makes me to hear you've had to go through this.

Did you say you were a toddler when you were adopted? and older than your sister? I can only hypothesise that the problem stemmed from you being older than your sister at the point of adoption and your adoptive parents therefore finding it harder to relate to you, connect with you, and basically MOULD you to FIT with them.

This is wrong, and they've made a horrible mistake in the way they have treated you. Once again, i'm so sorry for your heartache and i pray that God sends you a blessing and things get better.

Do contact me any time if you feel you need to talk. Love and best wishes. Always and forever. x

yeah.. i kinda need help in this... please help

i had a problem of people not being able to relate to me. have you tried to sit down and talk to the parents one at a time without arguing and hightened emotions so maybe they can understand what they're not getting. It might not work or you might have already tried it but the only way through anything is communicationand tolerance and understanding. I also say tolerance because sometimes the generation gap keeps people from understanding you completely. In the end it still only matters how yo make yourself move through the obstacles in life and i wish you well. write me if you need to. I do understand.

I can't help but think that the abuse of adopted children is far from normal. However, it is not uncommon, in families with multiple children for one child to be singled out as "the bad one." This doesn't mean that you were, its just a sick family dynamic. Take care of yourself by getting the help you need to shake off that label. It doesn't belong to you, they put it there.
