Stressedout-
My daughter is very similar. I lived the same experience with CPS. Fortunately, she now lives with her grandparents. They don't see her the way my son and I have seen her. It's only recently that my mother has become aware of her problems, still not to the extent that they exist.
A good message board for RAD is calle Attachment Disorder Support Group. Just Google it.
Many, many times my daughter had physically hurt my son. I'm sure you know to be hyper vigalent with the other children. It's seems as though these kids have a huge jealousy problem. Id've read on the RAD board that many do much better as an only child. Maybe her grandparents would be a better situation for everyone. I know our lives are so, so much happier now that my daughter no longer lives with us.
It's important that you and your husband are on the smae page. I've read where these kids can absolutely break up a marriage or any other relationship because they need to triangulate the adults. My daughter had alienated us from everyone in the family with her lies.
Please keep us posted. |
