I believe that sometimes adopted children really do not connect with their adoptive parents. When the child also knows their biological parent is still out there, coupled with teenage rebellion, inevitably you have trouble.

I wonder how much of her perception of her past is simply a rationalisation of this. I doubt an independent person would be so one-sided as she is. Maybe she is simply incapable of being objective on her upbringing for psychological reasons.

Someone above indicated she had a puppy as a child. Apparently at age 16 she also had a Mini. Did she learn to drive at 17? Who paid for that?
