[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 677191, member: 1550"] He ignores the whole family. Nobody is really sure why. But I did see a psychologist who only sees adopted children or their family members and I feel he was excellent. On top of him being very knowledgeable, we clicked as people and he gave me more time than I paid for. He sees this dynamic a lot, especially when t he children were adopted older and did not have any consistent loving adult in their infancy and toddler years. It can happen to biological kids too if they don't have stability of loving adults in their early years. It is being given more and more attention as divorce soars and kids sometimes see or experience very early abuse or neglect are shuffled from one home to another home and new significant others in the very early years. When we adopted Goneboy, there was very little known about this. There is still little known about this, but the information is growing now. It is still hard to find a psychiatrist who knows enough about it to diagnose it and the treatment is "iffy" and there is no one way found to have helped all kids or even most kids.Medication doesn't work. This is not inborn or inherited. This is truly a problem of environment. And it is often, in adopted kids, the environment before the child ever met you. [/QUOTE]
