[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 484519, member: 11791"] Step... You're probably dealing with a child that never had a strong attachment to begin with... harder to find a "hook" to start the process with. Plus... some MH issues, makes it even harder. A very long history... doesn't help. At some level, some of these kids are "broken" rather than "hurt". Ours was "hurt" - fairly seriously, but not "broken"... therefore, higher chance of healing? He won't be without scars, but may well be able to be a fully functional contributing member of society. I don't know how you deal with "broken". And there are probably different levels of broken... so, some difficult children can get more help than others? I don't know. I do know that... ugly backgrounds tend to produce ugly results... and while the kid had no choice in that, in a lot of cases, the current parent(s) didn't either. [/QUOTE]
