[QUOTE="SRL, post: 66071, member: 701"] Hi Jen, I'm glad you found us. What a long and hard struggle you have had. I'm not sure where it is in our link section but there is a disorder called Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) (Reactive Attachment Disorder) that you may want to research. There are several parents on our forum that are familiar with this and hopefully one of them might catch this. Obviously we don't diagnose here but I wanted to point it out in case professionals haven't brought up this possibility before. I know that this is hard to hear as a mother but children who do reach this point without improvement usually do need higher levels of treatment and supervision than parents can provide at home. This has nothing to do with your parenting--it has to do with a child who has issues so severe in their life that a parent's love isn't enough to solve them. Residentials also give parent the break they need. We are meant to be parents to our children--not therapists, doctors, nurses, counselors, etc, etc, etc--and residential situations can help a parent become a parent again. Many of our families have had positive experiences. Hopefully you are getting some help for you? This is an incredible load for a person to bear. [/QUOTE]
