[QUOTE="ShakinThingzUp, post: 90118, member: 4250"] Hello Just wanted to introduce myself before I start reading some of the existing threads.... My name is Amy. I am married with three kids ("yours, mine & ours") Emma - our 19 month old, is so far just fine & hoping to keep her that way - as much away from all trauma as possible... here's hoping! Megan - my husbands 14 year old daughter has Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) (Reactive Attachment Disorder). She was severely neglected by bio-mom (Dad was overseas in the army) & eventually sexually abused at 8-9 years old. She's come a very long way, and her healing shows. It's been a rough couple of years since we got her safe & living with us. Hunter - my bio-son, 11 years old. Originally, he was ADHD & otherwise a pretty normal kid. His ADHD was controllable without medications & he just required extra attention. Then Megan moved in with us & the rest is history. In a 2 year period, she moved in & began abusing him verbally & physically, then his great-grandma & best friend passed away, then my husband (dad to him, even though not bio) went to Iraq for a year. Now he also has anxiety/depression, which of course, amplifies the ADHD. Now, add to all that my husband, Tom, who returned from Iraq about 2 years ago with PTSD a much different man... I am one stressed out woman! But, I have a very supportive family & some good friends, and God has seen me through. Recently, I've been searching out more info that might help my son begin to heal better, which is how I found your forum. I'll be checking it out over the next week or so,and will post as I'm able. God Bless! Amy [/QUOTE]
