[QUOTE="TheyAreLegallyAdultsNow, post: 390210, member: 8405"] [COLOR=darkred][SIZE=4]It appears difficult child-daughter is STARTING to realize her behaviors and choices since Aug 2009 MIGHT have SOME consequences. [/SIZE] easy child said she got a "weird" call where difficult child-daughter was whining that NO-ONE contacts her and she doesn't understand why. [/COLOR] [COLOR=darkred](re: extended family-not us) [/COLOR] [COLOR=darkred] easy child replied saying "it's a two way street you know... who do YOU call?"[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkred] I keep trying to educate those who have "some contact" with both difficult child-s that a KEY SYMPTOM of Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) is the "cause and effect reasoning part of their brain" is usually under-developed and they just don't always "get" what should appear obvious. [/COLOR] [COLOR=darkred] [SIZE=5][COLOR=navy]I tell them it is unloving to expect the Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) s to figure it out on their own and/or pretend nothing ever happened. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=darkred] I explained to easy child that [/COLOR] [SIZE=5][COLOR=darkred]difficult child's cause/effect-reasoning part of the brain is delayed because of Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD)...[SIZE=3] BUT... As past history has evidenced...[SIZE=6][COLOR=navy] [/COLOR][/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=6][COLOR=navy]she EVENTUALLY "gets it" [/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=6][COLOR=navy]when she is consistently presented with the truth over and over again. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][COLOR=darkred] easy child is (and others are) understandably uncomfortable "lovingly confronting our difficult child-s with truth." [/COLOR] [COLOR=darkred] We are encouraged that [U]difficult child-daughter is [SIZE=5]starting[/SIZE] to notice [SIZE=4][SIZE=5]something[/SIZE] [/SIZE]has changed.[/U][/COLOR] [COLOR=darkred] We remain hopeful.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
