Si ou te li nenp\u00f2t nan p\u00f2s anvan mwen yo, ou deja konnen ke nan ka nou an, pitit gason byolojik nou yo gen 13 ak 11 ane, respektivman, ki pi gran pase pi piti pitit gason nou an ki te adopte nan swen adoptif. Nan moman sa a pi piti nou an te antre lakay nou nan twa mwa, pi gran yo te (ou devine li) 11 ak 13.<\/p>\n<p>Nan moman sa a diferans laj la te b\u00e8l nan ke yo te tr\u00e8 itil, epi yo te (sitou) enterese nan aprann sou li ak ki jan yo pi byen ede l &#039;. Apre yon tan, yo te vin pi pw\u00f2ch li, ak li menm ak yo, malgre gwo diferans laj la. Yo definitivman tr\u00e8 enp\u00f2tan pou li, epi yo tout byen tache youn ak l\u00f2t.<\/p>\n<p>Sepandan, l\u00e8 pi piti a te gen 5 an, pi gran pitit gason nou an te ale nan kol\u00e8j. Epi yo dwe on\u00e8t, mwen te espere dlo nan pi piti a. Olye de sa mwen te f\u00e8 k\u00f2l\u00e8. L\u00e8 m gade d\u00e8y\u00e8, mwen pa ta dwe sezi, men mwen te ... pet\u00e8t paske tris mwen te sanble tris, e menm si mwen pa ta dwe sipoze li ta tankou pa m &#039;, mwen te f\u00e8 sipozisyon sa a ... men malerezman tris li te sanble ak fache.<\/p>\n<p>Evidamman di, tout eksperyans la te difisil pou nou tout, men espesyalman pou pi piti pitit gason nou an. Li pa t &#039;konprann poukisa fr\u00e8 l&#039; te ale epi answit tounen epi answit ale epi answit tounen... chak k\u00e8k sem\u00e8n li te vini lakay ou pou yon wikenn. Malerezman (e ou ka deja kalkile sa a dapre laj pi gran pitit gason nou an), mwen finalman te f\u00e8 pi piti pitit gason nou an yon ti jan konprann ke gran fr\u00e8 l &#039;pa rey\u00e8lman viv av\u00e8k nou ank\u00f2; li jis rive lakay li sou poz.<\/p>\n<p>Apre sa, Covid li te rive epi pi gran nou an te oblije tounen lakay ou pandan plizy\u00e8 mwa... Se konsa, evidamman sa te tr\u00e8 konfizyon. Byen konprann, nou te gen koub aprantisaj la ank\u00f2 l\u00e8 li te pati ank\u00f2 pou kol\u00e8j septanm annapre a. Men, on\u00e8tman... malgre lojikman konprann sa k ap pase ak poukisa fr\u00e8 l &#039;te vini epi ale, li pa t&#039; f\u00e8 moso emosyon\u00e8l la pi bon pou li.<\/p>\n<p>Epi pandan tout tan, tris te sanble fache.<\/p>\n<p>L\u00e8 sa a, nan twa ane sa a nan sezon sa a nan &quot;poukisa fr\u00e8 mwen an isit la epi L\u00e8 sa a, ale tout tan tout tan an?&quot;, l\u00f2t fr\u00e8 a ki pi gran te ale nan kol\u00e8j tou ... ak retonbe yo nan sa a te imans.<\/p>\n<p>Pi piti nou an te gen tout kalite konp\u00f2tman ki mennen jiska li epi swiv li. Mwen p\u00e8son\u00e8lman kw\u00e8 se paske li te yon ti kras pi gran, yon ti kras pi saj e li te KONNEN sa ki t&#039;ap vini...ke l\u00f2t fr\u00e8 sa a tou pa t ap viv av\u00e8k nou aplentan ank\u00f2. Epi li jis pa t renmen sa.<\/p>\n<p>Kidonk, li t ap fache e li te fache pou yon ti tan epi apre sa li t ap lis... epi answit, inevitableman, youn nan fr\u00e8 yo t ap vin lakay pou yon vizit. Ak kabwa a p\u00f2m ta fache ank\u00f2 pou k\u00e8k jou.<\/p>\n<p>Epi tanpri pa tande sa mwen p&#039;ap di: nan okenn fason mwen blame ti gason ki pi gran yo... Se definitivman pa f\u00f2t yo e nan kou mwen te kontan l\u00e8 yo te vle tounen lakay yo. Li te itil tou ke yo te eseye sansib a k\u00f2l\u00e8 li jan yo te kapab (ki pa te toujou paf\u00e8 paske yo te toujou adolesan nan pwen sa a, men mwen ba yo gwo akseswar pou eseye).<\/p>\n<p>Men, sitou ak tan ap pase, yo t ap eseye f\u00e8 pwochen vizit lakay yo planifye davans pou yo te ka di l l\u00e8 yo kite konbyen jou oswa sem\u00e8n sa pral pase anvan yo ta w\u00e8 youn l\u00f2t ank\u00f2. Ak reflechi sa definitivman te sanble ede l &#039;konprann ke sa a pa ta dwe yon tan rey\u00e8lman long.<\/p>\n<p>Nan lespri yon fin vye granmoun kounye a n\u00e8f ane li toujou long, men se pa ensip\u00f2tab.<\/p>\n<p>Koulye a, k\u00e8k nan nou ta ka li sa a epi yo konfonn pa repons k\u00f2l\u00e8 li, kidonk jis yon mo rapid sou sa: pafwa timoun ki soti nan kote difisil pa trete emosyon yo byen epi kidonk yon emosyon pa par\u00e8t jan li tipikman ta dwe; pou pitit gason nou an, tris soti k\u00f2m fache pou li... e li te pran yon ti tan pou nou kalkile sa.<\/p>\n<p>Se konsa, yo dwe totalman transparan, nou di &quot;tris li se fache&quot; men se vre wi: li plis pase jis fache; konp\u00f2tman yo nou te f\u00e8 eksperyans av\u00e8 l &#039;yo te ogmante k\u00f2l\u00e8, (tankou eksplozif), osi byen ke gwo enkyetid (anpil moulen sou zong li). Konp\u00f2tman ou espere nan yon moun ki gen anpil enkyetid, kidonk nou menm, k\u00f2m paran li, jis dwe toujou kenbe sa nan t\u00e8t ou ... menm si li konprann ke fr\u00e8 l &#039;yo ap kite, oswa yo jis ale, oswa li tou senpleman manke yo, li kapab emosyon\u00e8lman deklanche pa sa epi nou dwe sou &quot;Yon jw\u00e8t&quot; nou an ranmase moso yo ... epi tou reyalize le pli vit ke nou w\u00e8 fache l &#039;, nou dwe adrese non s\u00e8lman konp\u00f2tman yo fache, men konprann li nan kad la nan. trist\u00e8s.<\/p>\n<p>Epi nan risk pou yo sonnen tankou yon dosye kase: Se la pou kenbe t\u00e8t nou kalm, epi kenbe t\u00e8t nou reglemante, menm nan mitan trist\u00e8s li a, se kote nou ka ede l kontinye geri... epi konprann ke p\u00e8t li santi a se pa yon p\u00e8t. p\u00e8t pou tout tan, li jis tanpor\u00e8, menm si tou de p\u00e8t ta ka santi l menm jan ak yon n\u00e8f ane ki soti nan kote difisil.<\/p>\n<p>Li evidan, gen anpil l\u00f2t posiblite l\u00e8 a) yon konp\u00f2tman ka manifeste ki pa montre vr\u00e8 emosyon, epi b) li ta ka timoun adoptif la ak\/oswa adopsyon an ale an premye... ak dinamik yo ta ka konpl\u00e8tman diferan pase nan senaryo sa a. K\u00e8lkeswa sitiyasyon lakay ou, mwen espere ke sa ede w konprann ke konp\u00f2tman oswa emosyon w ap w\u00e8 nan pitit ou a ta ka pa sa yo rey\u00e8l yo ap santi yo; vr\u00e8 emosyon yo ta ka, olye de sa, maske anba yon bagay ki pi fasil pou yo eksprime. Se s\u00e8lman l\u00e8 w vin ansanm ak yo epi mache nan lit la ak yo ke ou ka ede aprann k\u00f2d la dechifre santiman akty\u00e8l yo.<\/p>\n<p>Sens\u00e8man,<\/p>\n<p>Kris<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So going along with my last post about sibling connection\u2026another thing that doesn\u2019t seem to be talked about too much in foster and adoption is the impact when an older sibling going away to college.
