Advice from Old PeopleSometimes, just sometimes, old people say something worth listening to. Ok, so it's like picking the needle out of a whole haystack of mis-remembered war stories, but those gems should be celebrated.
Tell us something worthwhile an old-type person has told you.
Note, we're leaving the definition of old up to you, you smooth-skinned youngsters.

@blyerkitYou are my spiritual brother!
My oldest sister believes that she was *hated* as a child by our parents. My mum was abused (in every way) by her father, and my sister uses this as excuse for her now miserable life - obviously sis had terrible parents! They always bent over backwards for her - they still do. We as brothers and sisters never treated her differently at all.
She conveniently ignores the fact that each of my other siblings are happy, successful, and fully adjusted adults.
I guess you're right, she doesn't really have 'adoption issues', she has many other issues that she blames on being adopted and (feeling like she has) never being loved.
