[QUOTE="scaredofhim, post: 619193, member: 17051"] I read the info in the link you sent Midwest Mom and wow, it does pretty much describe SS, not quite all of it but most of it. But none of the causes of Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) seem to apply to him. husband says SS was well loved and well taken care of when he was young (although husband and bio mom didn't have a very good relationship) and I think maybe that is where the dr. has a problem with saying that Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) is part of what his problem is. And I am not sure that bio mom has shared much of what the relationship between her and husband was like when they were together. So there is that, and the fact that he does have all the symptoms of early onset bipolar disorder. husband did tell me that SS was a difficult baby and didn't like to be hugged or cuddled much and had colic and problems sleeping and then when he became a toddler the meltdowns started. However, husband and SS's mom did break up when he was about four years old. (they were never married) So his bio mom has been his sole custodial parent since that age. Could the fact that husband and bio mom had a rocky relationship have triggered Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD)? [/QUOTE]
