[QUOTE="buddy, post: 579264, member: 12886"] Hi! Another adoptive mom with a son with Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). We did intensive Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) specific therapy when he was young but still have issues. I almost think (gonna sound weird) that "fortunately " he IS cognitively impaired and autistic so he gets caught easily in lies and always tells on himself. He does care what people think and that helps. But he has always said things that accuse me, luckily obvious (he's going to tell people I poured sugar on him today, lol.....yeah i did flip some out of the cup I had in my hand when he slapped my back! ) I reminded him that the police have tests to see if he's lying and he believes me. MWM is right on about what she says. And everything I've learned? You did the right thing stopping that form of therapy. I've read and been told that non specialized Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) therapy not only is ineffectiveness but does more damage. It feeds into their illness. Good call. Now, the question is..are there any Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) experts in your area. Whether or not she gets better it can support YOU and the rest of your family. I agree keep a journal about all of your parenting experiences. Those dated records can help with your credibility if she ever does accuse you and cps gets involved. Does she do anything else like ...is she aggressive or wreckless? It's very hard, and yes.....super sad for all. [/QUOTE]
