[QUOTE="Methuselah, post: 569064, member: 12725"] Midwest and Insane, Thank you so much for your posts. You understand the *ellI I and other parents of Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD)/psychopaths are going through. Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD)/psychopathic kids ARE SCARY. Their charm hides who they really are, so they can get away with their harm very, very easily. We, the parents, come off as lunatics who are "unsupportive" when beg the school and others not to do certain things, because we know it will give permission to the psychopath to harm us and others. They are a nightmare to live with. I'm exhausted from protecting others. difficult child 1 is out of our house and life in 3 weeks. Finally. Hope: I'm sorry you are going through this. I truly understand your nightmare life, your fears and anxieties. This is what I know: my difficult children/Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD)/psychopaths are absolutely in control of what they do. They know why they are doing what they are doing; they know what will happen if they do it; they just don't care. At all. Ever. To me, it isn't a mental illness. To me, to say it is an insult to anyone suffering from mental illness. [/QUOTE]
