[QUOTE="auntalva, post: 280365, member: 7210"] My 16 yo AD spent two weeks at a local shelter for troubled teens and runaways, and after six weeks back at home she is now at the Juvenile Detention Center due to a third arrest on a charge of domestic battery (against me). Her negative behaviors and attitudes seem to match all of the symptoms for Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) ("reactive [URL="http://www.dailystrength.org/treatments/Attachment_Parenting"][COLOR=#018701]attachment[/COLOR][/URL] disorder"): -- need to control -- fear of closeness -- lack of reciprocity (self-centered, dishonest) -- angry and defiant -- no empathy or remorse How do I teach this child to trust, cooperate, empathize and have a conscience? There are programs like the XXX Institute in Colorado that look really good, but I am a retired, single Mom and cannot afford something like that. [/QUOTE]
