[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH is adopted and has a terrible relationship with his mother. He really does not like her at all. Her parenting style was heavily influenced by knowing that she was lucky to get this one heathy child and it was her only shot to be a parent and everything (and him) had to be absolutely perfect. He must not get his clothes dirty, he must be protected from all risks, and worst, he must be thankful for his food, clothes and education because he could have grown up poor instead. [/quote] This is how my previosly poor bio parents were with me as well, so not sure if it's related to adoption or juat parenting style. My dh and I have decided not to adopt; while I think open adoption now may be much better, I have had adopted friends who were very miserable as teenagers and young adults. I'm not sure I want to go through that as an adoptive parent. [/quote]
