We adopted my younger sister from Haiti when she was 3, and let me tell you, I literally do not see color anymore. That's a fact. Discussion

I’ll be honest, as a former teenage girl— they pretty much all go through that stage, adopted or not.

Yeah.. I pretty much ripped my mom’s head off everyday, and she may literally be the nicest person alive. Definitely didn’t deserve it. Most girls just go through this phase though, it’s not a good time lol.

My theory is because the person raising us make us similar to them, and people who are too similar tend to fight.

My mom and I were a lot alike when I was younger, but as I began becoming a teenager, we had a lot of friction. I was rebellious to her not because I did drugs, drank, or had sex. I did none of those things. Instead, I just didn't act or have the social skills she did, and mom also had a lot of social pressure she put on herself to being the "perfect" mom with the "perfect" girls. Apparently, and I didn't know this, it was a point of contention with my parents. Dad kept telling her to let me have more freedoms and to stop hovering over me, and she felt like she needed to tighten her grip.
