[QUOTE="C.J., post: 246150, member: 1987"] While N* was in Residential Treatment Center (RTC), her counselor there added Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) to the mix of ADHD (non hyper) and ODD. N* was an affectionate baby and toddler, but when her mother left her and her older brother for days and weeks with other family members, or in the house alone, N* became fearful of people leaving her and not coming back. Trust issues are huge for her. Even now, when I walk toward the door to the basement with a laundry basket full of clothes on my hip, she'll ask me where I am going. As a joke, I started to say, China. Lately, as we watch tv together in the livingroom, if I get up to get something to drink, or visit the bathroom, or even stretch and sit back down, she will ask me where I am going. Huh?!?! Nowhere? Her counselor at Residential Treatment Center (RTC) told me N* has replaced me as her mom in her heart and head - good attachment, but has also not forgotten what it was like to be left behind, feeling unloved and unwanted - reactive attachment disorder.
