[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 569641, member: 1550"] Your husband sounds almost as bad as the difficult child. Well, you heard my story. Not only should you be afraid of a Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) kid. It is insane to live with one. I advise you take easy child AND the dog (poor doggy) and leave. If he goes for attachment therapy (not other kind will do anything and even that may not work), and you see a huge improvement maybe you can try again. Right now you are taking a huge risk with yourself and your easy child. What if some social worker believes his allegations of false abuse? What if he kicks the dog too hard and kills him? What if he has molested your easy child? Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) is about as serious a problem as a child can have and your husband contributed to it by not getting his son out of a bad situation when he was a baby. What makes you think he's going to change now? Don't let his crocodile tears sway you from protecting your easy child and the dog (yes, I'm an animal lover). difficult child sounds like he is very steeped in Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD), not just mildly affected. He may have other issues too, but the Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) is overwhelming. Anything else is just going to make him even worse. This kid will likely never get better. And he won't for certain as long as husband refuses to follow through with intensive attachment therapy. Even then, without Mom also helping...there are other issues. I lived with a Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) kid. He was more dangerous than many adult criminals. I really think you should leave. I don't want you to someday find out that difficult child did to your easy child what he did to my kids. Or I don't want you to end up in jail because some young and clueless social worker believes that you abuse him. It's not worth it. I'm not sure anyone here lived with a truly Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) kid before, but I have. It is way worse than anything else you can ever imagine...and very dangerous for the entire family. One last thought: A Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) child is not attached to anybody, except, of course, he does put on a great caring act when he wants money or a toy or a favor. When our difficult child was lead out the door, he did want to come back and live with us again. Why not? We gave him many material things. But he got over us very quickly and according to the social worker who was keeping tabs on him, stopped asking for us very fast and was stealing, lying, and, yes, trying to molest other kids even in a jail type of Residential Treatment Center (RTC). They had cameras running all the time and could see what he was doing. Don't feel guilty if you leave him. You didn't cause this and you are not the one who let him down when he most needed somebody.
