[QUOTE="eap7243, post: 376041"] I think he would like to think of us as mom and dad, however there is no attachment there. And yes i am familiar with Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD), and that is him. Along with PTSD and I really believe pathological to some degree but hasn't been diagnostic. Unfortunately we decided to adopt him with the hope that he would see that we were committed to him, unlike other families that dumped him after 6 months. I guess I believed that love could conquer all. But now he's made it clear that he won't follow our authority. He's running the show at school and he wants to run the show at home. I cant let his younger brother see his attitude and think that's what you do when you grow up. We've given him every reason to trust us even if he won't attach, he knows were non violent and reasonable. Please explain why his ability to attach is more important than the safety of our family unit. [/QUOTE]
