[QUOTE="nikiani, post: 599903, member: 16375"] Thank you TerryJ2! I am SO very thankful that I found this place as well....It has really given me some coping skills as we are learning about all of this and trying to deal with it daily....I do think that our son is verging on the more severe side of Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) and if it isn't dealt with carefully and quickly, it will develop into something much more severe down the road. As far as the structure and discipline....we have been doing so much of that for years just to help him deal day to day. It is so very exhausting "babysitting" his every move. It's been years. There has really been no progress on his end. If anything, he seems to be doing more and more poorly and entertaining bizarre ideas and behavior patterns. It has been an absolutely terrible week with him and he has really started a whole new level of just openly defying his father and myself. Just when we think he cant take it to the next level. He does. He told my best friends daughters that he was going to kill them soon if they didn't stop telling us about his weird behavior and things he does. The 8 year old is now scared to death that he is going to hurt her. His psychotherapist has been off for the last few weeks and he needs to see her SOON. I am just hoping and praying that we can get the ball rolling and get some official diagnosis made so that we can start to move forward with some of these things and try to deal with this. I don't wish this situation on ANY parent. [/QUOTE]
