hello abby, i just want to start by saying im a fan of your column in the newspaper. ok, i am one of 10 children, all of us adopted. i am 15 years old, and i have a little problem. my 4th oldest sister 'sam' (whos now 19)ran away 2 years ago, and now my brother 'jeff' (whos now 18) ran away also. And they have no plan of coming home at all. 'sam' does drugs, and 'jeff' is soon to be a teenage father. My mother claims that it is all her fault that her children run away, and its also her fault why they did what they did. My father, and my older sisters and i have tried to tell her that it is not her fault that 'sam' and 'jeff' ran away, but she seems to have it glued in her head that its her fault. i dont think she realizes that 'sam' and 'jeff' are just immature, selfish children, and she needs to realize it. could you give me some advise on how i could try and get her to know its NOT her fault. i feel terrible, and helpless, because she cries in her room at night. i know because i hear her. please help me abby. thank you.
