[quote=Anonymous]OP, it is great that your brother and SIL have started family counseling with someone versed in adoption and attachment issues. As a previous poster commented, there is an adoption component to this conflict over the bat mitzvah, in the very limited sense that your niece is at the age when some (not all) adopted kids struggle with academic pressure and expectations in combination with confusion over identity. There's a really good essay on this topic by the late Lawrence Smith called "Oil and Water: The Attachment Disordered Child at School" that outlines these issues and offers a lot of useful advice.[/quote]
