[QUOTE="Pixie Dusted, post: 747369, member: 23670"] Thanks Tiredout, we have been to many doctors. My son (Franky) came to us at 15mos and we later adopted him. Unfortunately he was one of the worst cases of neglect/abuse that county had seen. Diagnosis- FASD Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) PTSD Major Depressive Disorder Interesting enough this is a new thing for him. Maybe he found his voice? In the past he would occasionally times be sad, cry, or withdrawn. Then 4 months ago his therapist did some trauma therapy with him and EVERYTHING changed with him after that. I wish she wouldn't have done it! He was never mouthy or disrespectful and he sure is now. Always making poor choices and saying very mean things to us. We had done a lot of attachment therapy when he was little. I thought it worked until he just started lashing out and is classic Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). Hugs, laughing, snuggles, I love you mom, etc. Then the therapy changed all that. I still catch glimpses of the "old" Franky, lol. And can occasionally distract him or use humor to stop the behavior from becoming full - blown. Hugs, snuggles, laughter, I love you 's is what he used to say. Now he won't ever say back I love you too, and rarely wants to be touched, let alone hugged. And he feels more anger and lashing out with me than his father. Therapist says that's actually good because he feels "safe" with me. IT SURE DOESN'T FEEL GOOD! :brokemyheart: We have asked him why he's so angry and he responds with "cuz you guys have the stupidest rules, or anywhere in the world would be better than living here, or you don't love me!" Says he has always hated it here. I feel like I'm desperate. Like I need to somehow bring him back or "rescue" him before he's too far gone. Maybe is too late? [/QUOTE]
