Ive been thinking about what you girls said, and yes she probably does feel abandoned by her parents, specially her mom.

She has often had meals with us, and we have allowed her to sleep over (in seperate rooms) we honestly have tried to show her warmth and cosyness of a close family, at times she has spoken to me yabbering away, and the next time she closes up again.
Yes, she does have problems showing feelings and expressing herself freely, that i have noticed a few times.
In one way i feel bad for her, the other side of me is kind of lost as to what to do say or think and feel about this whole situation.

It's a challenge!!

Please cross fingers for me, and say a little prayer

It sounds like you're doing all you can. I always figure that if what you do is from the heart, it's usually the best thing to do.
