[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 617059, member: 1550"] Frankly, I have no idea how they can go back in time and decide dead people had attachment disorder. The description was stellar though. I lived it. Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) is sort of new as far as professionals understanding it. It reminds me of borderline. Nobody had a real clue about it. until just recently. Professionals thought borderline was boderline psychosis (it's not) and that it can't be cured (it can). Attachment disorder is pretty new except to parents of adopted kids. We knew about it years ago, but nobody could treat it! It is still something people don't understand that well. It used to be called "failure to thrive." I am thrilled when those of us with dangerous, unattached kids finally get validation and understanding. Those who have never had kids such as these, even professionals, tend to get blamed, but that is changing. It is good for the child and the entire family. It' s not a cure, but it's a good start. People who deal with kids who choke their babies and come after them with knives and sexually act out on their other kids (and these kids are young...it is surreal to witness) do have trouble feeling warm and fuzzy toward them, and even some people here do not understand. You kinda halfta be there. [/QUOTE]
