[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 447065, member: 1550"] Thanks! He is very resilient, but I think and he thinks he had some trouble attaching to us, although he does not feel that way about his peers or wife. But I do think he eventually attached, and his attachment problems certainly were not Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) (we adopted a Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) child and he is nothing like him). I think his biggest problem was always being so very good and trying to please...and then, as an adult, deciding he didn't like being a doormat. His changes are what caused the problems...the rest of the family, including myself, was not listening to him although he was trying to tell us. I took it personally, when he was just trying to assert himself. Although he has a real way with people, he has trouble explaining his feelings. [/QUOTE]
