[QUOTE="cyncan, post: 267627"] Hello and Welcome I can so relate - I also am a stepmom to two kids - they are now 16 and 17 - but they came to live with us when they were 5 and 6. GFGSD was 5. What your daughter is doing sounds exactly like mine. My daughter has attachment issues big time - diagnosed Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). I believe your daughter directs her anger and destruction at you because she is afraid you are going to leave too. It could have take this long to come out because she has realized how much she loves and depends on you - and it is very scary for her. Don't take it personally (I know - easier said than done). It actually shows you are doing things right! I can't claim to have had a lot of success with my GFGSD - but we continue to try to move forward. Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) is a hard one and is mostly behavior modification - work with her while she is young - don't wait. Cyndi [/QUOTE]
