[QUOTE="Roxona, post: 685930, member: 19076"] Hi HBM, and welcome to the group. Sorry things are so difficult for you and your family. My SS10 has been diagnosed with attachment disorder. He has a lot of the same behavior your adopted daughter has, but not to the same degree. We're not exactly sure why he acts this way because he has always lived with his father and mother (prior to her death), and has been extremely difficult to deal with since birth so I am told. He has been to numerous "regular" counselors to no effect. We're now trying a counselor with our local children's hospital, but have just started, so I'm not sure how effective it will be yet. I agree with slsh...I would call the police every time she steals or rages or acts aggressively to have her sent to the hospital for a psyche evaluation or juvenile detention. I know that is easier said than done, but it may be the only way to impact her way of thinking. SS10 started major rages recently and threatened to kill us and himself. I told his father that I wouldn't stay in this house if he continued to ignore/enable his son's explosive behavior. He's 10 now, but it won't be long until he is 15. I simply will not tolerate violent behavior. I don't feel you need to tolerate it either. [/QUOTE]
