[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 380104"] TALAN...My heart goes out to you. Having lots of knowledge of the therapeutic world......this statement " [I]I believe that even if a child is not officially diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) they may have something within the "spectrum" of attachment difficulties. [/I] is one that I have heard before and concur with when it comes to adoption and along with- our own adopted adult child's diagnosis....there are 'some' issues of attachment as well. A long time ago, one of the top psychiatrists in my town who I have known for years and has now become a biiiiig shot locally in the field once told me that she has noticed that her work with children/teens who are adopted tends to be more complicated than with other young people. Not always...but a tendency. I DO believe that attachment and/or abandonment issues might very well play a role. One doctor told us that she believed our daughter has few issues involving attachment. Another told me that few adopted children escape this issue...it is almost always present to a certain degree. If you combine this with a secondary issue....it really gets complicated. p.s. Since they are adults and in such an unhealthy state of mind....the distance between you certainly feels crummy, but is probably for the best at this time. Prayers for a shift in their perception....and good relations at some future point in time. [/QUOTE]
