[QUOTE="Jungleland, post: 147899, member: 4598"] Thank you all who responded. This is the first time since last week that I have had net access. Well, J and I did move to my sisters apartment. It seems to be working out a bit better. Still rather strained between husband and I, but I have had a little more time with Aly, we went for a long walk around the property, looking at the horses and just hanging out. We seem to be doing better when it is just her and I and sometimes J, but not so well when husband enters the picture. I went to a seminar with my sis last Thursday on "The Children of Rage: Beth Thomas' Story". OMGosh, I bawled my eyes out half the time. She shows a video of being interviewed when she was 6, then 8 then 10 and WOW! She is one amazing woman who had the "luck" to be able to heal after years of abuse and neglect and foster placements...There is a Lifetime movie about her story called "Child of Rage" and she said they had to down play how really awful her behavior was for the movie. Anyways, there were so many moments that I was thinking "OMGosh, that is Aly" throughout the entire seminar. Even though we have had her in our family since birth, there is a major component of attachment issues with her. husband and I talked, he agreed that he and I and the entire family need counseling, but more than that, he has agreed to [B]looking into[/B] further treatment for Aly, finally! I can hardly believe it! I am praying so hard right now that we can find some sort of therapist with knowlege into attachment disordered kids as well as whatever else is going on with her. I would LOVE to find a place that could keep her long enough to remove her off of all medications, slowly and carefully, and let us see what is there under all those medications. Anyways, just an update of the Jungle in which I live! Hugs, Vickie [/QUOTE]
