[QUOTE="busywend, post: 47800, member: 391"] Welcome Tara! I have a couple questions/suggestions. Is the therapist/counselor/psychiatrist a specialist in attachment disorders? If not, then they really can not begin to heal this child. Has difficult child tried any medications? Sometimes it is OK not to know the diagnosis yet, but to treat the different symptoms. For example if you have a child with moods that go up and down - before diagnosing bipolar, it is OK to try a mood stabilizer. The diagnosis really does not change that the symptoms need to be treated anyway. There are times when the diagnosis dictates what medications are tried first though. Next is the realization that love does not conquer all. You can not love this child into a healthy, law-abiding, tax paying adult. [/QUOTE]
