On a good day, parenting will test the integrity of your character. On a bad day, parenting will test your will to live. Parenting children with trauma histories will cause you to test the integrity of everything and everyone you thought you knew, for the rest of your life.

more info

PBS' This Emotional Life Episode 1 addresses attachment issues. Need to send more information to your loved ones that don't understand? Need more information for yourself as you traverse the murky waters of life with a RAD child? You can watch the episode online.

Many thanks to Diana from http://goldtorefine.blogspot.com for reminding me of the episode on her blog. All three episodes are wonderful, BTW.

Sorry it's taken me so long to get over here. I was reading through your post for Jan so far. I'm so sorry for what you are going through right now. {{hugs}} Yes, it is ok for you to not want her back. And I agree that RAD is no excuse for feigning ignorance & stupidity. Laith does that too and it's so sad because he is so smart. More {{hugs}}
