[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 198518, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Franklin Gothic Medium]Welcome AuntSugar - you definitely have your hands full. Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) is one of the most worrisome diagnosis's for a difficult child to receive. Has your 18 y/o difficult child rec'd any kind of therapy or treatment for this disorder over the years? As for your middle difficult child - what is the possibility that he is also on the attachment disorder spectrum? It's sounding pretty familiar & not unusual for more that one child in a family to have this disorder. You're right about your 3rd child - turning to her is not a good thing. She needs therapy & skills to overcome what is going on with her siblings. You need support if your husband is ill & cannot pitch in. Since the diagnosis of Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) in your oldest have you rec'd or applied for any services? Now that she is more an adult the diagnosis will most likely be changed to borderline personality disorder (or that will be added). I guess I have questions with few answers at this point. I hope we can help you through this - if nothing else, give you a shoulder to lean on. Take care & come back often. PS: You will find there are many debates over the diagnosis of Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). I never doubt a diagnosis such as Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) once it's been given. Take what you can learn here & leave the rest. [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
