We wanted to show how the family secret of adoption can influence even second generation of members.

Girl 15 years of age, high school first grade lived in complete family with older brother and younger sister. Father was a rigid structure, difficult in communication with other family members except youngest daughter. For a first check up she had come with her mother (previously psychiatry treated of depression). Girl was very depressed (CDI 24), her appearance expressed hopelessness, repeatedly thought about suicide, did not accomplish anything she wanted, to study for nurse, or an actress. Two years ago looking through some papers, she had find out that her mother was adopted as a baby, that changed her all life, relationship toward grandparents, could not study, focus on anything else. Just a few days ago she admitted to her mother that she knows a secret about her origins. Her mother also find out that she was adopted when she was 14 (the same age when her daughter find it out), some girls in the school told that to her. Finding out the truth was very devastating for her too.

Trans - generational transfer of family secret came to resonance of unconscious and girl find out the truth almost in the same age as mother. It has had stressful effect, but also influence trust, and cause anger and feeling of exclusion. Silence has aggressive except protective function. Adolescence as vulnerable developmental age made this girl more sensitive for this.
