[quote=Anonymous]OP here. My sister and her DH went into this very naively and would not take any advice from other people we knew who had adopted either internationally or within the US with children who had special circumstances. This is attitude has carried over into my nieces care and upbringing in the sense that they will do everything to make it appear that she is emotionally and physically ok, despite a diagnosis and glaring signs.

I’ve had to pull away to protect my kids and they miss their 2 other cousins terribly. My niece had always been manipulative and unremorseful. I work with children how have been abused know that what she threatened my children with in our last visit was indicative of her past Abuse or potential to do it to someone else, potentially sexually. I can’t take this lightly.

However I don’t know how to talk to my sister about any of this without completely destroying our relationship. She knows we’re pulling away already but her defensiveness is a concern. How can I approach this? [/quote]
