[QUOTE="LookingForPeace, post: 747622, member: 22674"] You have just described our son who we adopted from Russia at 18mo old. I recommend continuing counseling but find one that knows what you are going through. You want one who is well acquainted with Reactive Attachment Disorder (Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD)) and Anti Social Personality Disorder. Find one who has worked in a group home/boys home for troubled teens. They will be able to see through the manipulation and lying. Call an office and ask if any of their therapists have experience with it. I think you are doing the right things. Unfortunately, more than likely he will continue to make choices that benefit him and he really doesn't care about your feelings because he lives in his own world. I wish I had better news....I would guess you have a rough road ahead of you. Our son is now 18yo. He chooses to have no contact with us unless he needs something such as money or documents. He still lies. We don't believe anything he says. He will lie even if the truth is a better story. He constantly plays the victim and nothing is ever his fault. Life with him was very exhaushand we thought we were losing our minds. I suggest you get into counseling as well. [/QUOTE]
