As an adoptive mother and a former foster mother to many teen girls, I have seen this happen many times. My grown girls love their children, they go through the motions but claim to be missing a deep connection. They don't have it with anyone else either. We are working very hard on building it b/c 3 of my grandchildren are now struggling with their own attachment issues. In this particular situation, I parented both parents beginning in their teens and both have/had significant attaching issues. I would be happy to share some of the things we feel are working, if you want to PM me.
