[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 540924, member: 84"] All I can say is go S L O W L Y. Be cautious. Be careful. Keep your expectations very low. I say this because you're not just dealing with an estranged difficult child, but an estranged Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) difficult child. You can be polite and talk and such and still do those things. The pretending everything is just all fine and dandy.........could be a lot of things, from "oh I dunno what to say to fix it so I'll pretend it didn't happen" to "it doesn't matter that it happened it's water under the bridge". I'd be extremely hesitant to tell them anything at all you'd not want another person to know or would not openly tell everyone yourself. (yeah, I know they can make stuff up, but this gives them no fuel for those fires should they ever do that again) I agree. A relationship is fine. But totally on your terms, not theirs. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
