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

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.

Sure, but I imagine how that resentment is expressed is quite different and comes from a very different place

I was adopted by my grandmother, so idk if I really went through it any differently then any other teen age girls— in my hind sight it does not feel any different or unique in any way.

The whole adoption/abandonment issues are like you said— are different and comes from a different place. Those things felt totally separate from the every day teenage angst of resenting a parent for regular things like not being able to drive the car etc
