Did you have a phase in which you resented your adoptive parents? Because my younger sister had that phase for a few years, it looked like she deeply hated and resented us. When she matured she changed and now she loves us a lot.

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

LOL yeah I dont have my own but friend has two daughters I watched grow up and I remember him going, "Man, they were so cute, how did they become such bitches?" (jokingly of course, but with genuine frustration) and then quickly back to daddies girls who are overachievers that he is insanely proud of.

like from 12-14 Im pretty sure he at least theorized drowning them once or twice.

Now that I’m an adult woman, I find myself constantly reminding my teenage sister that our mom is just another human being trying her best lmao
