[QUOTE="Stella, post: 277387, member: 6837"] I actually logged on today to start a thread about this very subject just to see that it was already there. I should have known people here would understand and would be going through the same thing. My difficult child has been "slipping" over the last two weeks. She raged last weekend which she hasn't done in a couple of months and her tic of throat clearing and roaring has really become a lot worse. I haven't been on here in a while but just to clarify that difficult child's psychiatrist and I both agree that the only diagnosis that fits is Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). He is going to refer her to another psychiatric who specialises in attachment for a second opinion. I know I have been told here on many occassion not to accpet a diagnosis of Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) easily and I haven't but honestly thats what i believe it is. Family therapy has been a little helpful a times but we have long, hard road ahead of us. Anyway, at our family therapy meeting yesterday we all (i.e. me and her two sets of grandparents) expressed how we are "terrifield" of this upcoming summer as last summer difficult child ended up in hospital when I went away for a few days. It was the worst time of our lives. Does anyone have any tips on how to get through the summer and why is it that some of our kids find summer so difficult? I know my daughter needs a lot of structure and routine but she is still in school until the end of June but has already started to "slip".... I really don't know if i can handle what we went through last summer again... [/QUOTE]
