[QUOTE="ksm, post: 472559, member: 12511"] I have thought of Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD)... it is wierd... she adapted really well to the foster home she was in... and also to us when we got custody a year later. She always seemed to "fit in". One therapist suggested that maybe the fact that she seemed to adjust so quickly was that maybe the attachments weren't as strong... Does that make sense? Like, it wouldn't be an easy adjustment if she was truly attached. She does seem to get overly "attached" to new people... like when we meet someone on vacation or at church camp... they are her "best friend ever" after only a few days. She really doesn't have friends... at 13, you would think that there would be phone calls and sleep overs. But there isn't. Last week, when the therapist asked about friends... she rattled off lots of names from school... but none of those people ever iniate any activities, or call. I just hate seeing her so miserable. And I hate that there are times that I can hardly stand to be around her. It is so difficult to keep trying - and keep getting my feelings hurt by her. She could have so much going for her... but she is so negative about everything. KSM [/QUOTE]
