[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 378527"] Similar to what Fran mentioned, I think it would be tres DIFFICULT, but if my kids were not on drugs, at least somewhat productive, staying out of legal trouble and harms way and NOT accusing me of falsehoods....just not attached to me....it would bother me a GREAT deal, but I would take at least a little comfort that they are okay and HOPE that the future will bring about a positive change. But I think that sometimes 'stories' goes along with these things.....and this can hurt a person's reputation. Additionally, it is almost like a death of sorts.... Jewels....I think many, if not most, adopted children are subject to Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). Why? I don't know. I am thinking of re-reading the Primal Wound. Our case is that our adopted child is severally mentally ill and there are some attachment issues thrown into the mix as well. Its been a LONG TERM VERY difficult roller coaster. I do believe it is possible that having that attachment stuff added to the mix just things more complicated/confusing and frustrating. Also makes tx more difficult. But no doubt about it ALL of us here have suffered in our own way and have suffered GREATLY! [/QUOTE]
