well I'm pretty sure she understands that they are just but a children yet. but imagine being in her place - you lived a 27 years already and you're about to get your freedom and wham! you're a child and have to live through hell once again! I wouldn't been able to be even cool minded in this kind of situation!
also I would understand if she pranked harsh on them because of the grudge. you cannot love or pity someone at have been bullying you for years, without holding a grudge, even if they became a child or didn't have done anything serious yet. I mean didn't she said "compared to bullying happened later on this is cute"? and I can imagine how much crueller they could have been considering that later on they also lost their parents. and there were no one who could stop them.
also even if they just wanted their parents attention it doesn't justify them, bullying is still bullying. (I'm not talking about the mean pranks - but the real bullying)
also let's be clear - in this family there were NO ONE (well maybe fathere is innocent, we don't know anything yet) that did NOTHING wrong. all of them are having their own faults, the boys, the girl is selfish, even the mother were not right and turned blind eye on everything when she found a replacement for herself.
in some terms they all should be annoying while they didn't changed and improved themselves, not just one little girl.
How many times should she be tripped, smacked, and left out in the cold before enough is enough? Why is the onus on her to accept being bullied by three assholes?
The audacity of it all....
See this is not the attitude to have towards adopted children. Are we forgetting that her circumstances weren’t great either to begin with? This girl either lost or was abandoned by her original family only to be placed in a bad family situation. Her brothers having attachment issues to their parents is no cause to treat her like crap. And if my brother had left me out in the snow or been continuously malicious, my parents would have paid attention enough to put an end to it fast. I get that her parent die early but while they are alive they should be able to see signs. Because this is the job of a parent. They are just preoccupied with their own happiness at having a replacement and don’t see her problems.
I know this might be just me, but she is annoying. She is supposed to be an adult, but can't see through 3 boys that just want their parents attention. They are not even cruel, they are just pranking her. Like anyone with another child in their family can see that
